    Already listened to this on my podcast app and really enjoyed Dr. Carafa's explanations on Octavian's palace. The idea of the architecture not only being grandious, or just a symbol of imperial status, but also being designed in a much more deliberate way. To separate or meld certain parts of the city and maybe concentrate power through the building complex itself. Thank you for the interview :)

    When I first heard the name of your guest I thought of the famous princes of the House of Carafa (Neapolitan) that I came across in grad studies (it was on Caroline Bonaparte Murat and her ongoing funding of the excavations at Pompeii) but too late for my paper I found Dr Carafa and his editor Andrea Caradini recently produced a 2 volume Atlas of Ancient Rome (some 1200 pages). Oh what I would have given for such an Atlas in grad school! Actually, I would prob do so now too! It is pricey but this isn’t just a work of love from Carafa and Carandini, but genius. Thank you for this podcast, and I sincerely hope Dr Carafa has plans to do an Atlas of Naples in the works! (Btw, Naples should not be seen as a poor sister of Rome nor a latter-day frivolous wasteland of Bourbons, I assure you it has as many of not more attractions as Rome!)

    In Carandini’s Rome Day One, he has no references to any other author. He’s a senator for life, and very much an establishment figure. His father was the ambassador to Britain immediately after Mussolini was deposed. What gets my goat is that he believes the myths of Rome’s foundation were all true.

    This one felt a lot more like a lecture than the others. Lots of descriptions, but not so much discussion or explanation. More a list of statements about what we do and do not know. Not saying there's anything wrong with that, but I do prefer these podcasts when they're more of a chat trying to get at a nugget of historical insights.

    As one who looks at the stars (when not washed out with city lights) I'd like a little more explanation of one of Professor Carafa's comments. He says Nero "alined [a street] with the constellation that was in the sky when he was born" (31:28). If it was his zodiacal sun sign, as I assume it was, it must have risen with the sun in the east and set in the west with the sun at sunset. Was the street aligned with the point on the horizon where the sun rose or set on his birthday?

    Needs to have subtitles at some unclear points. Ill need to watch someof his Italian interviews. But Carafa is clearly a good student of Carandini. Good to see someone besides only Coalucci.

    Yes, it's both an informative and utterly delightful interview. But I struck by a very odd thing. Garrett actually allows his expert guests to FULLY ANSWER his questions! He refuses to allow those inevitable dead spots where he says, "Hmmm..." or "That's interesting..." to bother him. Most interviewers live in such stark fear of such moments that they feel they have to step on guests or insert something forced after each question is answered. Why? I haven't a clue.
