The History of Rome

"Roll up, history buffs and trivia geeks! The 'History of Rome' podcast is a delightful, romanesque rollercoaster hosted by the indomitable Mike Duncan. Get your toga on and dig into an epic saga that stretches from Rome's legendary Romulus and Remus roots to the fall of the Western Roman Empire. It’s like a time capsule but in your ears, and with more Latin! Who said history was boring? Certainly not those wild party-lovers at the Senate! The target audience? Why, anyone with a pulse and a penchant for the past! And you'll learn loads... like, did you know Julius Caesar wasn't just a salad? So plug in, perk up and prepare to proclaim 'Veni, Vidi, Vici' over your pub-quiz adversaries. History of Rome, bringing the 'fun' back into the 'function of the Roman republic'!"
