Dear Fellow American,

We generally remember ancient Rome for its sprawling empire and powerful emperors.

But overlooked by our fascination with the might and drama of imperial Rome is the fact that Rome reached its greatness through a far different form of government.

Did you know that Caesar Augustus inherited 90% of the territory of his Empire from the Roman Republic?

The story of how the Roman Republic emerged from a group of warring tribes in the middle of the Italian peninsula to dominate the Mediterranean and, later, most of Europe is a captivating narrative of achievement, political and military genius, and the perils of success.

To help tell this important story to Americans nationwide, we recently released our free online course, “The Rise and Fall of the Roman Republic.” 

You can now receive your own DVD box set of “The Rise and Fall of the Roman Republic” when you make a tax-deductible gift of $100 or more in support of our educational outreach efforts on behalf of liberty. 

And, for a limited time, we’ll also send you a free color map of the Roman world at the end of the Republic printed on high-quality paper. This map is a helpful companion to the course DVD and will illustrate many of the topics discussed in the lectures.

Simply use this secure link to reserve your DVD box set of “The Rise and Fall of the Roman Republic,” along with the companion map today:

Learning the fascinating history of Rome reveals the conditions necessary to preserve a republic…and how a republic may lose its way. That’s why we produced “The Rise and Fall of the Roman Republic” and why I hope you’ll watch and share the course on DVD.

Before I go, thank you for helping to preserve liberty for future generations of Americans through education with Hillsdale College!

Best regards,

Jeremiah Regan, Ph.D.
