Galba's refusal to pay off the Praetorian Guard came back to haunt him when Otho looked for accomplices to aid in his assassination plot early in 69 AD.

I won't lie, I was a little scared of another super long hiatus. Glad to have you back and hope the sacred chickens gave you nothing but warm omens.

Long time listener, first time poster: CONGRATULATIONS! Yours is a terrific show and I hope you enjoy putting it together half as much as your fans, and we are legion, enjoy listening to it.

Welcome back Mike! You've been missed. Congrats on the marriage and the big move. Hope everything is going well in the lone star state.

I'm not listening week to week, rather downloading the podcast and listening to them later, so I only recently heard episode 53, asking about commercial endorsement. I, too, am a Roman history amateur enthusiast. I think what you have done is remarkable. I've heard some fact errors, and I disagree with some of your prespectives. Still, it's a great primer and refresher course. What an effort it must take. If you get a little recompense, I, for one, wouldn't take it amiss. In the end, it's whether you feel compromised which counts. Keep up the good work.

Good to have you back on duty Mike...

Hey Mike, Welcome back. I was reading Gibbon in lieu of listening to your podcast for the last few weeks, but yours is infinitely lighter to lug around on an underground train.

Woohoo!! Welcome back Mike (and Mrs THoR). I know I need to get a life - because I have really missed your 20 minutes of banter and cerebral topup.
Posted by: FredBear | October 19, 2009 at 12:46 PM
Welcome Back!!!
Posted by: Nathan | October 19, 2009 at 03:09 PM
Yay! Good to have you back. I hope the wedding went fine, and it didn't sink too heavily into Roman debauchery.
Another great episode. It always amazes me how casual the Ancients would be about murdering vast number of people to secure power.
The good ol' days.
