GET LIT/GET SCHOOLED: Win a copy of Rome Reborn on Western Shores, plus tix to the National Constitution Center

constitutioncenter.org Calling all history nerds: Tomorrow night at the National Constitution Center, Eran Shalev, author of Rome Reborn on Western Shores: Historical Imagination and the Creation of the American Public, will lead a conversation about how antiquity shaped the early American political landscape.

Rome Reborn enables us to take a fresh look at the history American Revolutionaries were making and living." In anticipation of the talk (6:30 p.m., free with reservation, 525 Arch St., 215-409-6700, constitutioncenter.org), we're giving away a copy of this book, plus two tickets to the NCC's "Ancient Rome in America" exhibit, to the first reader who can correctly answer the following trivia question:
