In this episode I have an interesting chat with historian and author Charles Freeman about his latest book 'The Children of Athena: Greek Writers and Thinkers in the Age of Rome, 150 BC - AD 400'.

Charles is an authority on ancient Mediterranean cultures, so check out his other books about the classical world, as well as the discussion in the ARI podcast:
