In this episode of Two Friends Talk History, host Zofia is joined by Stefano Carlo Sala, a doctoral researcher at the University of St Andrews, to explore the fascinating world of Dionysius of Halicarnassus—a Greek historian living in Rome at the dawn of the Empire.
Together, they dive into how Dionysius used monuments, myth, and memory to connect early Roman history to a classical Greek past.
If you’re curious about how contemporaneous historians tried to explain Rome’s rise, justify its rule over the Greek world, and shape cultural identity in an evolving political landscape, this episode is for you.
