<p>[QUOTE=&quot;kevin McGonigal, post: 7533332, member: 72790&quot;]I would love to take such a course had I the opportunity to do so. I studied&nbsp; the Classics at Catholic University in Washington DC. Great school for that sort of thing and near the Dumbarton Byzantine center. As a department head, when examining new texts for our school, I always checked the section (if they had one ) on the Byzantine Empire. If it was a good one I considered purchasing that text. If it had no such section, I would go no further looking at it or considering it. During that time when I was teaching&nbsp; I made a visit to modern Turkey to view the sites. The most impressive to me were the walls, what was remaining, of those that protected the capital for a thousand years, from every two bit, wanna be, conqueror of the empire. But as for signing up for a course at a good school like Berkeley ( one of my daughters, got her PhD. from Berkeley, great campus) I am afraid from where I live now and my stage of life, I think today&#039;s students would mistake&nbsp; me for Abelard. But I never had the opportunity that you were so fortunate to have had. By the way, can you tell me when you took that course?[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
