The prompts:
1. Palatine Hill - where Rome started and where all roads would eventually lead! If you have been to Rome, tell us some of the highlights. If you haven’t been, what would you most like to see?
2. Esquiline Hill - Home of Nero’s golden palace. It is said that Nero fiddled while Rome burned. The only trouble is, the fiddle wasn’t invented until the early 1500s! What surprising thing have you learned (or unlearned) about the Ancient Romans?
3. Capitoline Hill - Et tu, Brute? What work have you read that portrays a terrible betrayal? Bonus points if it has to do with the Ancient World!
4. Aventine Hill - where the Plebeians lived. From their great struggle came some noble ideas. What is your favorite work of literature from Ancient Rome?
5. Caelian Hill - where the rich lived. What is your richest (or favorite) resource about Ancient Rome?
6. Quirinal Hill - the highest hill with the best views. What is your favorite novel or work set in Rome?
7. Viminal Hill - the smallest of the hills, so we’ll just go with a motto or slogan! What is your favorite Latin saying?

Coincidentally, I just saw a fun short interview on RU-vid by Mary Beard with Sian Phillips (Livia) and Brian Blessed (Augustus) reminiscing about making I, Claudius. There's also an appearance by Derek Jacobi at the end. It's listed as "Dame/Dr Mary Beard invited Siân Phillips, Brian Blessed for a brief "I, Claudius" Reunion/Interview".

I’m embarrassed to admit that I haven’t watched the BBC production yet, but I certainly intend to.

I had no idea about Hannibal’s later career!

His life story, from beginning to end, is wonderful drama 😁

I liked your mention of graffiti Vin, the ubiquity and craziness of some of the graffiti really doesn't get represented or talked about for sure

I liked HBO's Rome alot too. Apart from that and the 80s adaptation of I, Claudius, it seems to have been a criminally underused setting, in any good TV anyway.

I haven’t watched the I, Claudius series yet (I know I need to), but I agree wholeheartedly that Ancient Rome is criminally underutilized as a dramatic setting.

Sounds like ancient Rome looked a lot like Melbourne does now !

I imagine it like NYC in the 70s, including the Time Square peep shows 😂
