Welcome to The History of Rome, a weekly series tracing the rise and fall of the Roman Empire. Today we will hear the mythical origin story of Rome and compare it with modern historical and archaeological evidence. How much truth is wrapped up in the legend? We end this week with the death of Remus and the founding of Rome.

The first episode. To think that you would complete this monumental task of covering the entire Ancient Roman history in under 5 years time. That is roughly 250 years covered per year. Pretty good when you consider the depth of the work throughout. There is nary an event of import that he did not cover in detail.
In the end I really think this will go down as a modern day Gibbon. I really believe that.
Mike, has a gift for this. The sheer amount of research that went into any given episode is astounding. Especially given that much of the time he was pumping out an episode per week.
I cannot wait for his new project now that what was started here is now completed.
