PlebSoc host Greece vs Rome Debate

On Thursday 3 November the Classics society, PlebSoc, hosted its inagural Classics debate, between Rome and Greece. Among the organisers were Purusotha Thambiayah.

Freddie Bird led his Greece team with the help of Jamie Slagel, Rishi Nayan-Varodaria and James Rosen, against a strong Roman side captained by Dom Mastrangelo aided by Purusotha Thambiayah and Henry Colbert. Both sides argued that their civilisation contributed more to today’s modern society.

After fruitful debate and a question session, Greece were crowned the winners after gaining a slight majority in the audience vote and were presented with the R.C Whiteman Cup.

Thanks must go to Purusotha Thambiayah for organising the event and to Ms Simons for heading up PlebSoc and helping with advertising the debate.
