I am going to be giving a 10-20 minute presentation on the title 'The Roman Empire'. My audience is approxiamately 50 people, aged 18 -35. Any suggestions for topics? It can't be in depth and there should be some humour and shocking facts here and there to make the audience want to learn more. I have been thinking of the following so far; Overview of the rise and fall; Politics; Military; Cuture (including slavery); Impacts on the world as we know it. I have 1 week and I am in denmark, where there is little english literature on the shelves in the libraries. Please help.
