Historian and archaeologist Josephine Quinn is an expert in ancient history, from Greece and Rome to Phoenicia. Today, she shares lessons from her new book, How the World Made the West, showing how the West’s history was not one of isolation, but characterised by exchange, mingling, and encounters with other cultures. Join Quinn for a fascinating discussion with Jo Sharp which puts a whole new understanding of Western civilisation in the frame.
