you mean Bob Thor, youre welcome
Long story short, I teach high school or college level material to younger kids with an interest in the subject matter. I’m fortunate to be able to write my own lesson plans and teach what I love. This semester, I’m teaching Ancient Mythology.

I don’t have time to read history textbooks, so I listen to a lot of history podcasts. I am going to start listening to audio history books, though. Going to start with Mary Beard!
My two favorites are:

Been there. I’ve been to a lot of these places. This one in particular, I was excited to share because of the OG-ness. I’ve got tons of pictures from there. Sadly, I have more pictures and interest than I have time.
Didn’t want to be too conspicuous taking a picture of the OG hog, since I was with an archaeologist.

All roads lead to Rome. When you read or study the history, it leads you to so many other events and cultures etc.
I started off with readinf about Alexander and later read Tacitus, Gibbons, the War in Gaul, and on and on.

Absolutely! My favorite thing in teaching history is helping kids understand how all these things are connected. Not only does one era enter on the heels of another but many of these significant figures and cultures were concurrent; quite literally intersecting.
Many of Rome’s tremendous developments were Greek before they were Roman. That is to say, they adapted or improved upon an existing idea. What Rome did, more than anything else was to lay the foundation that transitioned the ancient world into the modern era. They created the “small world” we know today. While there was plenty of travel, trade, exploration, and conquest before Rome; it was Rome who connected all the pieces like none before them.
