Art of Manliness Podcast #74: Ancient Roman Honor With Dr. Carlin Barton

In this week’s episode I talk to University of Massachusetts’ professor of ancient history Carlin Barton about her book Roman Honor: The Fire in the Bones. I discovered her book after I finished our massive series on the origins and decline of traditional honor in the West and I wished I had it as a source during my research. It’s one of the best books I’ve read, and every time I re-read it, I’ve gotten new insights. Professor Barton and I have a 90-minute conversation about honor and the role it played in the lives of the Romans.
