Our next Ten Evenings guest might think about the Roman Empire more than anyone in the world. The author of twenty (20!) books and regular contributor to the BBC and the New York Review of Books, Mary Beard is a distinguished scholar of ancient Rome who has an uncanny ability to make classical studies, ancient Roman history, and ancient Roman life highly intriguing and relevant for current times. 📚 We’re proud to present a Ten Evenings lecture with this celebrated classicist on Monday, October 23, the day before her newest book, Emperor of Rome, is published! Join us online + stay tuned for info about last-minute in-person ticket availability! Copies of The Emperor of Rome and Mary Beard's other books will be available at the whitewhalebks table. 🔗 pghartslectures #MaryBeard #RomanEmpire #Bookish #BookLove #Bookstagram #TBR #TBRlist #CurrentlyReading #ReadersOfInstagram #AuthorsOfInstagram #HistoryBooks #IReadNonfiction #ThingsToDoInPittsburgh #WhatToDo412 #PittsburghLife
