the romans had the same sort of thing. the romans saw themselves as descendants of the trojans. they saw themselves at partly the center from trojans, partly accident -- descendent from greeks, but the jews also created or appropriated, borrowed stories from the greeks and linked them to themselves. there's one wonderful legend or construct in which the jews saw themselves as related to the spartans because of, they claimed, both spartans and jews descended from abraham. there's nothing like that in the bible, but in post difficult times when the jews were part of a larger greek cultural community, they bought into some of these stories that created ties between the two cultures, so they did not feel that they needed to have a kind of altogether separate existence that everybody else was some -- needed to be kept at arm's length or reduced to a status of inferiority and to be despised and so on. i can give you a very good example of this kind of connectivity. there's a wonderful greek story about the -- or myth about perseus. you may -- >> remind us, perseus is? >> the son of je

citizens to break roman law. you couldn't you could legally force a slave to carry something up to one mile but after one mile you had broken the law because that would incite rebellion and so he said if you must carry something for a mile carry it for to write this these recalls to revolution is that there are you suggesting that there is some truth to that a b that peter by to continue that tradition this certainly seems to have been a kind of revolutionary turn to jesus his methods but the thing. the christians were much stronger than that so when they entered roman courtrooms they would say things like well we can't respect your emperor we have our own emperor christ and we look forward to his impending rain when all of you will be judged and they'll be this new christian era now to a roman governor that sounds like rebellion when you saw it talking about your emperor who's going to overthrow the current government and this is this is an era in which you can be executed for adultery for starting fires for mak

he also wrote a history of florence, starting with roman times.nd in this great work, he put historical writing onto a new footing, both in terms of its literary content and its scholarly underpinning. and there he lies, his history on his breast, surrounded by wealth of classical detail, his bier supported by the roman eagles and his hope of heaven in the roundel of the virgin and child above his head. this monument in itself is a wordless combination of the christian and the classical. this is the pantheon, the most perfectly preserved temple of ancient rome. scholars like bruni and the artists of renaissance florence had a passionate love affair with antiquity. the humanists recovered and translated the texts, the artists studied the statues and the frescoes. but they were not simply copying the achievements of the ancient world-- they were transforming them. this renaissance design for an ideal city uses classical architecture to create a perfect environment based upon reason and order. and in perhaps the most famous image of man by a renaissa

roman society prospered. wealthy families gradually bought land from neighbors who had fallen into debt. the sellers then labored for the new owners as tenant farmers. during the republican period in the first centuries before christ, the wealthiest families formed their own armies. their troops owed loyalty only to their individual general, and not to the state. by sharing power, the families prevented any one leader from consolidating rulership. the family armies combined to conquer territories in europe and northern africa. some of the generals became very powerful. returning home after battle, even victorious generals had to petition the state for money and land to pay their armies. rewards for the troops were always uncertain. as the armies became more successful, they began to fight among themselves. finally, in 31 b.c., one general defeated his rivals to centralize rulership. augustus caesar became the first true emperor of rome. classics scholar mary beard inspects the house of augustus on rome's pala

is -- this is a bigger deal than you would think because you would think that the orthodox and the roman catholic church would be closer together than, say, for instance, the anglicans and roman catholic church but it's a tougher nut in terms of the attitudes of the two institutions. >> and if i can go to helen alvare in washington, bringing the christian churches back together as much as possible, little by little like i recall pope john paul ii once saying that the first thousand years of christianity was the millennium of unity, the second thousand years of disunity so maybe take a thousand years to get it back together but this was a mission of pope benedict xvi and your sense on whether a moment like this, which is so magnificently explicitly catholic is something that can advance that process. >> yeah, i certainly think it can. i was present at the inaugural mass of pope benedict and when you are present at a ceremony like that and you see people from every continent and perhaps every country in the world and people from every religion, the symbolism, you want it to become substanc

romans. but these are guys who have been in rome a long time and work in the vatican. >> or worked inside. >> exactly. and then you've got cardinals from all over the rest of the world who quite frankly are tired of picking up the pieces when bombs go off here, who want to see a serious reform of this place. i think that's the fault line that is going to drive the train in this election. >> the irony, it's sort of counterintuitive, it's said a lot of the romans, those who have worked inside the vatican, are actually looking more toward a cardinal from brazil, whereas many of the so-called reformers are looking to a cardinal from milan. >> well, look, here's the math. the math is that the vatican cardinals in this conclave are 38 out of 115. they cannot win this election alone. so they need to knit together a coalition. one way of doing that is to appeal to the instinct many cardinals feel that it would be good to elect a pope from outside the west which is where two-thirds of the 1.2 billion

the hapsburg holy roman emperors turned to rebuilding their ravaged land.ll along the danube, where bleak fortresses had guarded the river, a chain of magnificent abbeys was built. the victory over the turks meant that money was now available for grand enterprises. the monks' taxes paid for buildings rather than for weapons. these abbeys were meant to serve not only as religious communities, but also as hospices for the emperor. saint florian's abbey, begun in 1689, is the work of an italian and an austrian-- carlo carlone and jakob prandtauer. in true baroque fashion, the new abbey was a stage upon which royal ritual could be played out by the visiting emperor. paradoxically, the stage usually lacked its leading actor, for the emperor himself rarely visited any of the abbeys. but it didn't matter. the object was not imperial housing. it was to make a political point, to bear witness to the unity of christianity and empire. here we're dealing not with the glorification of an individual emperor, but with the need to assert the divine right to rule of an inst

i also think that is entire world, not just the roman catholic world wants to see a better roman catholich. all of us, regardless of our denomination want the pope to do a good job. the world needs to know the good news. so many times, scandal, corruption, the darkness of the human condition, the result of sin, becomes the headlines every day. we are seeing this thing with cardinal mahoney. i think it's unfair what's happening to him. i don't think he's acted differently than any other cardinal or bishop. they have all participated, to a great extent in the cover up. the fact is that's how the church operates. they operate in secret. it's a generalization. >> you are saying every cardinal in the world acted that way? it's not true, albert. where do you get your statistics? >> what we know about what cardinal mahoney did and the thousands of pages of documents, he was counseling priests, telling them not to go to therapy because the therapist might have to reveal what they did to law enforcement. he was telling priests not to come back to los angeles because they might be then subjected to

when rome came into contact with the greek world, romans, too, began building theaters. at the height of the roman empire, practically every town, even small towns, had its theater. often, these were quite imposing structures built at imperial expense or donated by some wealthy citizen. pompeii, the town that was buried under volcanic ash and partially preserved, had two handsome theaters, a small one for mimes, poetry reading and musical shows, and a large one for dramatic performances and spectacles. by this time, the romans had distinguished between theater as popular entertainment and theater as an art form. ephesus also boasted two such theaters. and so did verona, where the larger theater had become an amphitheater for grand scale spectacles. when rome fell and the classical world with it, the theaters fell into disuse and decay, but not forever, for with the dawn of the renaissance, interest in greek culture and learning revived. the preserved written accounts were studied, manuscripts of great greek playwrights-- aeschylus, sophocles, euripides--were read, and a
