Main reason i like Mary teaching about History is because she is so relax and making small jokes that keeps you glued to the screen, she is the best, with her beautiful smile

I love Dr. Mary Beard's presentations. She isn't an arrogant elitist snob, but a humble historian. Much love ❤️

Mary Beard is the best historical teacher ever. I would love to be her student.

[Patricia-swek]

Well I absolutely hated history in school all it was was having to remember dates for exams, however Mary Beard has ignited a spark in me and I am eternally grateful, wish she had been my history teacher she has brought to life and it matters

[wendywhitley]

Mary Beard and Irving Finkle are the best and most engaging historians. I never miss a chance to watch either of them.

imagine she is your mother or grandma and you are traveling with her through italy, or some of the former roman provinces, Mary has the talent to tell a story in such a way that you absorb the knowledge like a sponge...

Thank you for this. Mary Beard is one of the most articulate and down to earth historians of this age. Her documentaries are always a joy to watch!

[George-usoy]

Incredible documentary! Enlightening and interesting. As a student of Ancient History it’s easy to get burnt out by all the latin names and sometimes difficult to read source material. Then something like this gets uploaded which reignites the fires of passion and reminds me why I want to pursue this field of study. This film has added several locations to my upcoming travels as well. Thank you Mary Beard and the rest of the team.

In just a week I will be in beautiful Rome, of course with your book at hand, Mrs. Beard ❤✌

Mary Beard does it again -- thanks Mary!

It's exciting how Mary Beard loves the Romans and the empire they built. Being Portuguese, and loving in the same way the Romans, I feel somewhat proud of living in one of the areas of that ancient Empire that gave us so much.

[therealtoni]

This lady is so fun and interesting!!! A great storyteller telling a great story of Rome!

[TheTrooper]

I've always thoroughly enjoyed Mary Beard, her enthusiasm is infectious and a joy to behold.

[hugodesrosiers-plaisance]

Dame Dr Mary Beard's material is always outstanding. Cheers.

The blue bottle is amazing! Wonderful history! Thank you Mary

[johnfathers]

I’m really enjoying Mary’s presentations. I’ve been to quite a few Roman sites over the years, but to be able to discern so much from the smallest of details is amazing and very impressive. It must make it you appreciate the sites so much more than a layperson.

[williamrobinson]

Wonderful! Mary is a star historian. 🌟👍

[LALLLondon]

Mary gives us the history of the big and small. She has the knowledge of course, but also the ability to help us understand humanity from a long time back. Most historians just give us the grand bits, others just give us the view of the conqueror!

[dll_Rhemuth]

What a wonderful documentary! I love Mary’s Easy way of explaining what could be extremely complicated material. Makes me wish I got into Roman history instead of indigenous American anthropology. If I ever get to Italy I’ll be stalking the archaeologists out at Ostia, that I know.😅 I adore the mosaics.

Visited Jerash in Jordan a few years ago, pre Covid, a real gem too. Typical Roman town by pattern, beautiful.
