A Word in Pompey’s Ear
by Christopher Nuttall
After a history graduate student has her research proposal dismissed by her professor,
she runs into a woman who offers to put her ideas about Pompey the Great and the Roman
Civil War to a real-world test.
And then I told her that if I had been there, I could have steered Pompey toward saving
the Republic.
