Lectures are in english Mary Beard (1955) is hoogleraar klassieke geschiedenis in Cambridge, de stad waar ze ook studeerde. Haar frequente verschijning in de media en haar soms controversiële uitlatingen maakten van haar de bekendste classicus van Groot-Brittannië. Dit jaar verscheen haar boek Pompeii – Het dagelijks leven in een Romeinse stad, waarin ze persoonlijke verhalen over het leven van de inwoners van deze stad vertelt. Tom Holland (1968) brak bij het grote publiek door met zijn boek Rubicon. Het einde van de Romeinse republiek. Het boek valt op door de vaart waarmee het geschreven is – met name de eerste hoofdstukken lezen als een avonturenroman. Rubicon werd een bestseller, evenals opvolgers Perzisch Vuur en De gang naar Canossa. Twee auteurs met een staat van dienst dus, die met elkaar in gesprek zullen gaan over hun boeken.

Mary Beard, Professor of Classics at Newnham College, Cambridge is the author of some of the most scholarly yet accessible accounts of ancient Rome in print, most recently her trailblazing Pompeii. Novelist, lecturer and cultural historian Marina Warner has been examining the feminine in myth and history since she first emerged as a leading feminist thinker in the 1970s. Together they cut through the cultural appropriations that often skew our vision of the ancient world and its mythologies.
