The Architecture of Power: Great Palaces of the Ancient World offers an insider’s look at some of history’s most awe-inspiring structures. In 24 lectures presented by Professor of Classics Steven L. Tuck of Miami University, you will not only get a glimpse into imposing and magnificent sites, but you will also experience many that are inaccessible to the public—and even some that no longer exist. As you make your way through these storied sites, you’ll also delve into an exploration of the meaning of power and the ways it operated in societies across the globe. You’ll learn how rulers impressed, intimidated, survived, maintained control, and much more.
