Gaming the Past: Role Playing Political Crisis in Greece and Rome

Study key Greco-Roman political crises before role-playing historical debates to chart a path forward. How should Athens rebuild after total military defeat - oligarchy or democracy? Expand or limit citizenship? What should Rome do the day after the assassination of Julius Caesar? Are his killers heroes or criminals? Should the Senate reassert itself or is autocracy more efficient and attractive?
