SPQR

The Classics Club

Mission Statement: SPQR aims to promote awareness of the ancient Mediterranean world through student lectures, discussions, film, and engagement with Classical culture. We hope to develop a better understanding of the foundational context of the modern Western world and Reformed tradition. The club will encourage all students both to discern the modern world through the lens of antiquity and vice versa.
