Hi All,
Longtime listener Detlef has set up a discussion board for talking about/around/beyond The History of Rome. If you have questions, thoughts, comments or just want a place to hang out where you don't have to worry about convincing anyone that Roman history is totally fascinating, by all means bookmark the Forum Gallorum and check back often because the episodes themselves are just the beginning of the conversation.
Have fun while I'm gone,
Mike
PS It has also come to my attention that there is a Facebook fanpage for the show. You'd think that a savvy podcaster like myself would be on top of all the social media sites, but I'm actually pretty terrible at these things. If you're on Facebook, join in the fun right here. I promise to be on Twitter sometime in early 2011...

Congratulations on the nuptials and I look forward to more podcasts. I LOVE the hand-drawn maps, family tree, etc. They are clear and helpful. Personally, I hope you don't go high tech with these items. Keep up the GREAT work. I will eagerly await whatever project you take on next. And I would love to purchase transcripts of this podcast in some form.

Congrats and keep up the good work. Love your podcast. It reminds me of the long, hot history classes when I studied in Rome. It was well worth it and thank you again for such a great podcast.

Have only recently found your podcast. I thoroughly enjoyed every minute so far. I am still back with Octavian. I was wondering though how I can get access to the first 25 episodes?
Thanks for the fascinating look at Roman History.

Congratulations on your marriage. I'd just to like to ask you to continue the series through the Byzantine Empire because it's one of the few things that my dad and I can listen to in the car together while we go to and from work and it gives us something to bond over. He doesn't warm up to many podcasts like this but The History of Rome by you has his full attention.

As Julia once said, I take on no New Cargo, unless the Cargo-Hold is filled!
She meant that she 'entertaint' new Lovers only when she was already pregnant...go figure?

I wonder what your Woman would say?...Entertain me? And, I come from good-family, and I have been in combat...Generations of Combat American Men...How if I take her from you? It is, afterall...my RIGHT!...Under Roman Law!
Interesting...Enjoy your Woman...I allow you. Only, under American Law! ;)
I am not like you. Be evil to her...watch what happens!
I will invoke Roman Law and Cease Her from you.
In an Heart-Beat.

REALLY enjoying the podcasts. Found them about two months ago and have been slowly working my way up to current. Fascinating stuff, and you do a great job. congrats on the marriage, and good luck with the move. We'll all be breathlessly awaiting the next podcast. :)
Oh, and good for you with the Audible ads. You deserve some reward for your hard work!

Woohoo, almost new parts soon. Can hardly wait. :3
The podcast is brilliant stuff and taught me a lot about old Rome. I've been enjoying it thoroughly. Grats on the marriage, too, naturally!
P.S. In case you haven't seen it, Project Gutenberg has a lot of old texts for free in their archives, such as those of Julius Caesar " http://www.gutenberg.org/browse/authors/c#a3621 " and Cicero's work etc.
