Thanks. I do try to mix in a good amount of history to understand the context of whatever we’re reading in class. And I’ve dressed up in the occasional Renaissance outfit or toga. I was even seriously considering getting a lyre this year, lol.
These are great, Robert. I often think that a serious study of history requires a worm's eye view and a lot of empathy. (Also, I tend to be of the opinion that stories are better teachers than information.) Well done as always and thanks for such a deep, critical look.
Excellent!
Reading your poems about Rome rekindles my love of classical history and literarure.
Thank you Ernie. That’s great to hear!
Rhythmically compelling. Your first-person insight into these historical moments makes me think you'd be one hell of a cool history teacher.

I’m in favor of the lyre.
Impressive
Thank you MaryAnne
Minding oneself with archaic ideas was the life.
