Antiochus of Seleucia 0 Report post Posted December 30, 2006 (edited) The Great Courses catalog has a variety of lectures given by numerous professors, but this dandy caught my eye: Roman History $519.95 on sale for $109.95??? I may have to check this out! 48 - half hour lectures spanning from 200BC to 200AD on nearly every aspect of Roman culture. There are also lectures on many various different subjects such as physics, calculus, philosophy, and on how to argue. The latter may do well for a lot of people here.

They go on sale several times a year, fortunately. I would gladly participate in any thread discussing a course or answer questions concerning a specific course.

guy 157 Report post Posted September 5, 2007 (edited) Just a heads up: One of my favorite courses by the Teaching Company is on sale ($99.95) till September 27 (2007). It is Kenneth Harl's " Rome and the Barbarians." This is not an introductory course. It deals with the interaction of Rome with her "barbarian" neighbors. (Check their web site for details.) Great course and I recommend it highly. Remember, only buy these courses when they are on sale. (Fortunately, they go on sale several times a year.)
