BBC R3 - Frederick Raphael's 'The Roman Road'
Produced by Louise Greenberg
Broadcast December 3, 1995
Frederick Raphael, author of 'The Glittering Prizes', was good friends with classics' scholar John Patrick Sullivan.
Together they explored remnants of the classical world. In 1993 they retraced the journey to Brundisium made
in 37BCE by Horace [Quintus Horatius Flaccus] & Virgil [Publius Vergilius Maro]. It was their last trip together.
This play is Raphael's salute to the professor, who died before they could travel together again.
It's a mixture of learned conversations about Virgil & Horace, the political situation in 37 BCE, Virgil & Horace's
possible conversations, and the poetry the original journey inspired.
The play closes with a short eulogy: 'In memorium John Patrick Sullivan, Scholar of St. John's College Cambridge,
sometime Dean Of Lincoln College Oxford, Professor Of Classics, University of California at Santa Barbara, who
made the journey with me, and died, 1994, aged 63 ... a brave man who never threw away his shield because,
having no enemies, he had no need of one.'

Thank you for these;
The Roman Road is an interesting one, a remembering of his friend and his past conversations it seems, almost an internal memory.
Listening to The Three Women now
