The sites discussed include the Athenian Acropolis and its many temples; Delphi the home of the oracle of Apollo; Hadrian's Wall and Vindolanda; the Roman Forum and Flavian Amphitheatre (aka the Colosseum); Pompeii and Herculaneum; the Palace of Knossos on the island Crete and even Petra in Jordan (with a few more in between).

The Colosseum or Coliseum, also known as the Flavian Amphitheatre, is an oval amphitheatre in the centre of the city of Rome, Italy. Built of concrete and sand, it is the largest amphitheatre ever built. The Colosseum is situated just east of the Roman Forum. Construction began under the emperor Vespasian in AD 72, and was completed in AD 80 under his successor and heir Titus. Further modifications were made during the reign of Domitian (81–96). These three emperors are known as the Flavian dynasty, and the amphitheatre was named in Latin for its association with their family name (Flavius).

asset title: Episode 10: Imperative - For best results filename: ra_10.mp3 track number: 10/22 time: 10:01 size: 8.23 MB bitrate: 112 kbps In Episode 10, For best results, we learn more about the 'noi' and 'voi' forms of the imperative mood. We also summarize the general rules for the use of pronouns with the imperative. By now, the 'noi' and 'voi' forms of the imperative should hold no mysteries: they're identical to the present indicative, and negative commands are made simply by placing a 'non' in front of the imperative form.
