About

The Roman poet Juvenal once said people are entertained as long as they have 'bread and circuses'. Now we can go one better with coffee and circuses! David Walsh chats to a range of people about their interest in the Roman world: how did they end up working on it? what projects are they engaged in at the moment? where does the study of the Roman world go in future?
