Sarah Beckmann, assistant professor of Classics and core faculty member of the Cotsen Institute of Archaeology at UCLA, was recently featured on The Ozymandias Project podcast Ancient Office Hours. She discussed comparisons between Rome and America, examined Roman domestic art, shrines, & cult practices, and explored the universal nature of religion/spirituality in the ancient world and the challenges of communicating them in the modern era. Founder and host of the Ozymandias Project is classicist Lexie Henning, who “engages in thoughtful discussions with her guests focused on exploring the ancient world through the sense of contemporary storytelling and examines the practical applicability of a degree in ancient studies in modern society. The Ozymandias Project also works to introduce our audience to a game-based learning model through live-streamed archaeogaming events,” according to their website.
