Dr. Satterfield's The Aeneid

I thought Dr. Satterfield’s talk was enlightening and insightful. He talked about The Aeneid and described the whole book based on the historical context of ancient Rome. Dr. Satterfield described ancient Rome as productive and that even with a bad leader, Rome was still rich and efficient. It gave me a better picture of how Rome looked like and functioned back in the day. He also went into great detail by showing us pictures of maps, historical sites, and ancient statues in the time of when the book took place, which also helped me to visualize what it had been like during that era.
I also found it fascinating when he went into great depth about the book in order to elaborate on the characters and the plot of The Aeneid. Dr. Satterfield
