In tales of the Trojan War, as told by Homer, Aeschylus, Sophocles, and Euripides, we encounter these mythical warriors' wives: Penelope, isolated but resourceful as she awaits the return of Odysseus after his lengthy absence; the war widow Andromache, enslaved and displaced from her homeland after the fall of Troy; the unfaithful and murderous Clytemnestra; and Tecmessa, a war captive who witnesses her partner's breakdown and suicide in the aftermath of battle.

Story
The first Christians were weird. Just how weird is often lost on today's believers. Within Roman society, the earliest Christians stood out for the oddness of their beliefs and practices. They believed unusual things, worshiped God in strange ways, and lived a unique lifestyle. They practiced a whole new way of thinking about and doing religion that would have been seen as bizarre and dangerous when compared to Roman religion and most other religions of the ancient world.

Story
As the world recently commemorated the hundredth anniversary of the discovery of the tomb of Tutankhamun, our fascination with the pharaoh begs for a balanced view. Most recovered mummies have not escaped the modern trafficking in ancient bodies and body parts. The story of Ankh-Hap, a Ptolemaic-era mummy seized in the nineteenth century from the infamous mummy-pits of Egypt, provides a salutary example of what most mummies have endured.

Story
В истории Древнего Рима фигура Марка Туллия Цицерона одна из самых значительных и, возможно, самых трагических. Ученый, политик, гениальный оратор, сумевший искусством слова возвыситься до высот власти... Казалось бы, сами боги покровительствуют своему любимцу, усыпая его путь цветами. Но боги — существа переменчивые, человек в их руках — игрушка. И Рим — это не остров блаженных, Рим — это большая арена, где если не победишь ты, то соперники повергнут тебя, и часто со смертельным исходом. Козни влиятельных врагов во главе с народным трибуном Клодием, несправедливое обвинение и полтора года изгнания.

Возвращение в Рим, гражданская война между Помпеем и Цезарем, смерть Цезаря, новый взлет и следом за ним падение, уже окончательное.

Story
De acordo com a historiografia ocidental, a Primeira Cruzada teria sido uma expedição militar e religiosa incitada pelo papa Urbano II com o intuito de liberar Jerusalém da crescente ameaça do Islã. O evento teria culminado em julho de 1099, quando da libertação da Terra Santa por milhares de cavaleiros da Europa Ocidental. Mas será que seu verdadeiro catalizador foi Roma?

Story
Qui n’a pas déjà son idée toute faite sur la situation des femmes de l’Antiquité grecque ? Les Athéniens – et les autres Grecs aussi, d’ailleurs – seraient forcément misogynes puisqu’ils sont réputés avoir exclu les femmes de leur cité. Ils les auraient reléguées dans l’espace privé de la maison. Dans cet entretien, l’historienne interroge cette affirmation car la recherche récente, tant en sciences sociales et en sciences de l’Antiquité permet de réévaluer l’attitude des sociétés antiques envers les femmes et, plus généralement, les rapports que les femmes et les hommes entretenaient.
