The rise of Halloween in the Netherlands or a new look at Sinterklaas. Traditions change and not without a struggle. What about the Romans? How did they deal with changing traditions? We often think that today's problems are modern and typical of our time, but historian Olivier Hekster sees it very differently. In Rare Boys the podcast , he and University of the Netherlands editor-in-chief Merijn Doggen explore how Romans dealt with “contemporary” issues. Come listen to the live recording of Rare Jongens the podcast and see today's issues through a Roman lens. After the recording, join both speakers in a conversation about Romans.
