Weekend Roundup

Roman Empire Podcasts

Dec 10, 2023

Dear Classical Wisdom Reader,

I read somewhere during the week that the Roman Empire was in the top three topics discussed on social media this year…

I’m not sure how accurate that claim is, but there’s definitely been a lot of discussion of the Roman Empire this year.

So in that spirit, we have a couple of podcasts for you!

First of all, in our latest episode of Classical Wisdom Speaks, Anya speaks with Stephen Dando-Collins about his latest book Rebels Against Rome.

Discover the colorful personalities who stood against the empire across continents and centuries, whether they were heroes or villains, as well as their ultimate fates…

You can watch that HERE!

(After some editorial discussion, we chose to leave a humorous little technical error in the podcast, which we blamed on the Ides of March!)

And for our Members, we have an extended look at Magnus Maximus, the neglected Roman Emperor, in the latest episode of Podcasts with Professors.

Anya spoke with Maxwell Craven about how this overlooked yet controversial figure had a massive legacy in Britain, and how his story shows how myth and history intermingle…

That’s available HERE!
