October 14: Julius Caesar

Loading Events
Once Julius Caesar crossed the Rubicon and took the city of Rome, he was on top of the world–for a time. But his monarchical approach to leadership made the Senate increasingly uncomfortable and led ultimately to his bloody demise on the Senate floor. In this Great Books Symposium, we will discuss Shakespeare’s history play about Caesar to gain insight into the nature of leadership, betrayal, and politics in ancient Rome.

A webinar for K-12 teachers in the private school, the public school, and the homeschool.

Maximum Attendees: 20, so be sure to reserve your spot early. The session will be recorded and made available to those who have registered.
