The Australian public has a genuine and demonstrable interest in Ancient World Studies. This project offers them insight into how the ancient world constructed its political scandals. It examines the interrelationship of private acts and public conduct during the height of the Roman empire, and how personal morality was perceived to affect capability to govern. It provides a case study for the assessment of similar scandals in the modern world. By reading ancient perspectives on "sex", "power", and "privacy", we better understand our world and the potential for miscommunication across cultures. The project also promotes co-operation between metropolitan and regional universities in sharing resources in a national collaborative project.

澳大利亚公众对古代世界研究有着真实而明显的兴趣。这个项目让他们深入了解古代世界是如何构建政治丑闻的。它考察了罗马帝国鼎盛时期私人行为和公共行为的相互关系，以及个人道德如何被视为影响治理能力。它为评估现代世界的类似丑闻提供了一个案例研究。通过阅读古代关于“性”、“权力”和“隐私”的观点，我们可以更好地理解我们的世界，以及跨文化误解的可能性。该项目还促进了城市和地区大学之间的合作，在国家合作项目中共享资源。
