A weekly podcast tracing the history of the Roman Empire, beginning with Aeneas's arrival in Italy
and ending with the exile of Romulus Augustulus,
last Emperor of the Western Roman Empire. Now complete!
So, I am a Greek history buff, one, in my area, nearly matching the maker of this podcast in his. Because of this I decided to take a job that would allow me to be as close as possible to Greece. Teaching English. I couldn't find work in Greece itself however and am now living in manisa, turkey. Which is themodern name for magnessia. As it seems I have ended up about a mile from the place where the Greeks effectively lost their aura of preeminance in the ancient world. Strange irony eh? Looking to walk in their glory and end up living near their effective defeat.
Love your podcast by the way. Maybe I'll try my luck at a History of Greece.
Whera are all the missing early episodes?
