Some of our favorite stories have roots in the writings of the Greeks and Romans. In this episode of Rostra, Annabelle Bremer talks with us about those influences and where we see them in modern literature.
What was it like for the first Christians living in Ancient Rome? On this episode of Rostra, Jacob Gaskill takes us back in time before Christianity became the official religion of the Roman Empire.
After talking with us about engineering and technology in ancient Rome, Saran Wagner returns to Rostra to share with us the ancient Greek advancements in these areas.
Katie Kolb and Lucy Esposito join us on Rostra to talk about some of the most incredible sites from antiquity you can see today in a trip to modern Rome.
Just where do we get our ideas for the superheroes and comic books that entertain us? In this episode of Rostra, Stella Kolb helps us see the connections between the superheroes of today and the mythology of antiquity.

Alex Petkas is a former professor who had to walk away from the dysfunctional world of academia to embark on his own Odysee to spread the work of some of the greatest minds of ancient Greece. The writings of Plutarch, one of the priests of the Temple of Delphi, is his area of expertise, and the writings show many similarities between the fall of the Roman Empire and the American Empire's controlled demolition. Join Alex on one of his retreats in Austin, Texas, or the guided tours of modern-day Rome to learn about how the empire fell while visiting the actual locations. His online oratorical gym called “The Rostra” is where members can work with other orators to improve their storytelling and presentation skills. His “Cost of Glory” podcast just crossed the 100-episode mark and can be found wherever podcasts are served.

Nihâyet Beyazıt Meydanındaki düzenlemeler bitti. Doğrusu buna sevindiğimi söyleyebilirim. Yapılan açıklamalara göre, Turgut Cansever'in projesine sâdık kalınmış. Bilemiyorum, ehline soracağım. Yolum düştü. Zamânım vardı; iklim de müsâitti. Meydanda bir kaç saat geçirdim. İşin fizikî kısmı halledilmiş görünüyor. Emeği geçenlere şükrân duymak gerekir. Ama mesele gâliba bununla sınırlı değil. İlk büyük şaşkınlığım meydanın açılış merâsimiyle alâkalıydı. İnternete yüklemişler. Oradan tâkip ettim. Güleyim mi, ağlayayım mı bilemedim. Meydana bir çadır kurmuşlar. Evvelâ Sayın Belediye Reisi, onu tâkiben de CHP'nin bâzı ileri gelenleri konuşmalar yaptılar. Komedi bu konuşmaların ardından başladı. Çadırın içinde, herhâlde temsilî olarak “kurdela” kestiler. Herhâlde târihte ilk defâ kurdela kesilerek bir meydan açılmış oldu. Bir meydan, bir çadır ve kurdela kesimi. Doğrusu, aralarında herhangi bir tefrikat yapmıyorum, belediye reislerinin pek çoğunun “görgüsüzlük”, “usulsüzlük” sicilleri hayli kabarık. Bunların bâzılarını taşralılığa yorabiliriz. Ama mevzubahis İstanbul olunca durum değişiyor. Beyazıt Meydanı'nın “açılışı” da bunun en sakil misâllerinden birisi olarak târihe geçecek. Meydanlar modern kentlerin hem en vazgeçilmez hem de en netâmeli mekânlarıdır. Kadim dünyâlarda meydanlar siyâsal iktidarların haşmetlerini sergiledikleri sâhalardı. İktidarlar buralara prestij değeri yüksek yatırımlar yapardı. Romalı geçmişi itibârıyla İstanbul'da da bu tarz meydanlar mevcuttu. Beyazıt Meydanı da bunlardan birisiydi. Bu mekân büyük ölçüde Theodossius Meydanı ile örtüşür. Ama dikkat çekici olan husus, Osmanlı'nın bu tarz mekânlara pek de iltifat etmemiş olmasıdır. Aristo, daha antikitede özel ve kamusal alanları mantıkî bir kesinlikle birbirinden ayırıyordu. Ona göre “idion”, özel alandı, “koinon” ise kamusal alan. İkincisi yine kesinlikle siyâsete açılıyordu. Osmanlı ise bu kesinlemelerin çok dışında kuruyordu şehirleri. Siyâset Yolu olarak da bilinen Divan Yolu, Roma'daki Messe'nin işlevini devâm ettiriyordu. Bunun hâricinde kamusal-özel ayırımını derinden hissetirecek bir şey yoktu. Mahremiyet ile aleniyet arasında kesin bir ayırım hissedilmiyordu. Bunun yerine, “mahremiyet” ile “aleniyet” arasındaki zarif geçişler mevcuttu. Bunlar birinin içindeydi. Meselâ “haremlik-selâmlık”, aynı mekânda mahrem ve alenî olanı biraraya getiriyordu. Modern kentlerin gelişiminde akılcı standartlar baskın hâle geldi. Ekonominin kamusallaşması bunun itici motoruydu. Kapitalist üretim ve tüketim tarzına göre mekânlar elden geçirildi. Yeni mekânlar oluşturuldu. Modern kentte meydan sâdece siyâsal değil, ekonomik bir kategoridir. Bir bakıma Rostra ile Agora'nın bitişmesidir bu. Siyâset, bilhassa mutlak monarşilerin asrı olan Barok, Rokoko zamanlarda meydanlara mührünü vurmaya devâm etti. Zaman içinde meydanlar muhalefete de açıldı. Ama bunun yanısıra piyasalar burada oluştu, ticâret burada dönmeye başladı; malların tüketimi de burada gerçekleşti. Wener Sombart'ın consumptionstadt dediği bir mekândır modern kent. Kentlerin bilhassa bu niteliği çok mühimdir. Elbette bu yeni mekânların kendine has şenlikleri ve bir câzibesi, baştan çıkarıcılığı vardır. Eski şehirlerde(polis) tüketim hayâtı meydanların daha çok çeperlerinde iken, bu defâ bizzat içine yerleşmiş durumdadır. Meşhur Alman atasözünde olduğu gibi modern kentleri bir liberten hava kuşatır (Stadtluft macht frei). Ama meydanları sâdece tüketim ile eşlendirmek doğru değil. Bırakılırsa olacağı budur. Ama meydanları, tüketimde daha az, daha mütevâzı karşılığı olan kültürel bir donanıma kavuşturmak da mümkündür.

We have already examined five of Augustus's major building project in Rome, but we have not yet considered how he changed the beating heart of Ancient Rome, the Forum. Today we do.
You’re listening to an Audio Guide to Ancient Rome. This episode is one in a series of short descriptions of monuments in the Roman Forum. In this episode I’m describing the Black Stone, Rostra and the Column of Phocas. The Roman Forum sits in a saddle between the Capitoline and Palatine Hills. Originally a marshy area, successive improvements to the land’s drainage allowed this to eventually become the center of power for the city. As its armies conquered new territories and money flowed into Rome, the Forum’s original meat and produce sellers were pushed out, to be replaced by majestic temples and monumental structures that accommodated the key societal, political and judicial systems needed for the empire to function. This area served as a central market and meeting place over many centuries although the nature of the proprietors and clientele changed significantly over time. The Forum and its surrounding buildings grew to be the focal point for nearly everything associated with the lives of the people of Rome including political discussions, legislative processes, civic entertainment, as well as a logical place to hold a riot or even a cremation. The area was first surfaced with gravel in 7th Century BCE around the time of the establishment of the Comitium and Senate House (or Curia). Although lost for many centuries and no longer recognizable other than through its archaeological footprint, the Comitium was sited in front of where you now see the meeting house of the Roman Senate (which is often called the Curia Julia). If you’re having trouble locating this, it is to the south east of the Arch of Septimius Severus and hidden underneath a low sloping temporary roof that covers ongoing excavation work. Also the location of the sanctuary for the fire god Vulcan, this was an important cult center from the very beginning of Rome’s development. The sanctuary consisted of an open-air U-shaped altar, a column which was probably for a cult statue, and an inscribed stela, known as the Lapis Niger (or Black Stone).
Julius Caesar came of age in a Rome where severed heads hung in the Rostra, bodies choked the Tiber, and murderous mobs stalked the streets. Even at 16, this was Caesar's element. And by 30, he'd stood up to a terrifying dictator, got kidnapped by pirates, and made a career out of prosecuting powerful governors for corruption. Not to mention, he had an epic quarter-life crisis. Most stories about Caesar's life don't start at the beginning. But this one does.
