Read & Learn Italian: Roman Emperors - The Good and The Bad
Dettagli
Join us for a reading on the History of the Good Roman Emperors and the Bad Roman Emperors.
Audience: For English speakers who are learning Italian at the intermediate level - the reading was developed using AI assistance.
Join us this February for an immersive journey into the heart of the Roman Empire as we contrast the "Five Good Emperors" with the notorious tyrants who nearly brought Rome to its knees. We will explore the era of Pax Romana under leaders like Trajan and Marcus Aurelius, examining how their wisdom and stability fostered a golden age. Conversely, we’ll dive into the chaotic reigns of figures like Caligula and Nero to understand how personal vice and political instability shaped the imperial legacy.
Unitevi a noi questo febbraio per un viaggio coinvolgente nel cuore dell'Impero Romano, dove metteremo a confronto i "Cinque Buoni Imperatori" con i famigerati tiranni che quasi misero Roma in ginocchio. Esploreremo l'era della Pax Romana sotto la guida di leader come Traiano e Marco Aurelio, esaminando come la loro saggezza e stabilità abbiano favorito un'epoca d'oro. Al contrario, ci immergeremo nei regni caotici di figure come Caligola e Nerone per capire come il vizio personale e l'instabilità politica abbiano plasmato l'eredità imperiale.
The Plan:
- We will all read the presentation in Italian within smaller groups/breakout rooms.
- We will translate the passages into English.
- We will rejoin the main room for discussion, and when available, hear from native Italians' personal experiences.
