Most history programs follow a strict chronological timeline—but is that really the best way to teach history? This episode of Classical Et Cetera instead explores the power of teaching history through a moral, narrative framework—where the meaning of events matters more than the order. We make the case for starting with Rome, not Greece, and explain how the ancients themselves approached the past. It's important for all of us to learn how history can shape students’ souls, why timelines aren’t the whole story, and what it really means to understand the past.
