Summary
Historian Dr Michael Scott explores the notion of luxury, which isn't just a question of expensive and the beautiful objects for the rich and the powerful. Luxury has always been much more - and more important - than material things, especially in the ancient and mediaeval worlds.This first episode follows the debate about luxury which convulsed ancient Greece from the beginning of the classical era.
