Course Overview
Even millennia after its fall, the grand expanse of Roman
achievement continues to affect not only American society, but
the entire world as well. What caused a civilization of such
accomplishments to disintegrate? In this informative and lively
series of lectures, renowned history professor Thomas F. Madden
serves as the ultimate guide through the fall of ancient Rome.
Professor Madden correlates the principles of Roman conduct—
both governmental and military—that would forever change the
world. Rome was an empire unlike the world had ever seen, and
one that will likely never be duplicated. Peopled with personages
of great distinction and even greater ambition, at once notable for
humanity’s great promise and flawed nature, the Roman Empire
contributed many of history’s proudest advancements. Here
Professor Madden invites audiences to explore all the grandeur of
this fallen empire.
