Mary Beard

BBC Radio 6 Music - Radcliffe and Maconie, Mary Beard

Mark Radcliffe is joined by Roman expert and TV presenter Mary Beard.

Mark Radcliffe is joined by Roman expert and TV presenter Mary Beard, who talks about her new book, SPQR: A History of Ancient Rome.

Roman expert and TV's own Mary Beard joins Mark to talk about her new book 'SPQR
A History of Ancient Rome'. It co-indices with her new BBC Two series 'Meet the Romans with Mary Beard' which starts in April. Hailing from Much Wenlock, Shropshire, Mary went on to study classics at King's College London and later became Professor of Classics at Cambridge. The series and book chart the journey of Rome from a small village to a European superpower. 

And if that wasn't enough, there's the trusty show staple The Chain - where you, the actual listener, get the chance to link one track to the one before - and Teatime Themetime, for all your huddle-round-the-wireless-radio-quiz needs.
