Secrets of Power:
Tacitus on the Soul of Despots and Despotism

A Discussion Seminar

What makes a people willing to give up its liberty?

Is despotism inevitable? Is empire?

Is it possible for good people to flourish and advance under tyranny?

Join us at AAI this Spring for a seven-part seminar as we read Tacitus’ Annals and ponder these questions in an atmosphere of deep discovery, community, and intellectual exploration.
