About this episode
Join Natalie Haynes and guests for half an hour of comedy and the Classics from the BBC Radio Theatre in London.
Natalie is a reformed comedian who is a little bit obsessive about Ancient Greece and Rome.
Now she's standing up in the name of the Roman lawyer, politician and orator Cicero.
Maybe we'd all love him a bit more if Shakespeare had had a nicer Latin teacher. Expect a lot of gossip from a thousand years ago.
With special guests:
Lawyer Mark Stephens Professor Llewelyn Morgan
Producer: Mary Ward-Lowery
First broadcast on BBC Radio 4 in August 2017.
