THE END
News of Galba’s betrayal makes its way to Nero who is shocked into action. He sends troops to stop Galba - but they switch sides and join the conspiracy. Nero goes into hiding with the intent of running away to Alexandria and Greece, but even that plan is betrayed. Finally, he comes to the end of his story. And so do we! This is our last episode ever.

The Last Straw
Nero celebrates two official triumphs. Not for military victories, but for singing. It’s the last straw. A new rebellion is formed, lead by Vindex and Galba.

Grand Slam
Nero didn’t visit Athens or Sparta while in Greece because he was scared of religious and political retribution. Besides, he was too busy trying to become the periodonikes, the Grand Slam champion of all of the Games. But things weren’t going well back at Rome, so he is finally convinced to return. He had six months left to live.

Horny Dolphins
The year is 67 CE. Nero is still on his 14 month tour of Greece. He dropped into the Temple of Apollo at Delphi and tickled the Omphalos.

To the Deuce!
It’s 67 CE. Before he sets out for his World Tour of Greece, Nero first needs to insult the Senate, then he needs to deal with a new conspiracy, this one involving Corbulo. While Greece, he becomes unhappy with Vespasian who apparently doesn’t clap loudly enough at Nero’s performances.

Dude Looks Like A Lady

Customer Reviews
Just finished the last episode
Thank you Ray and Cam for the last 9 years! What a journey, I have loved every minute of it and you had me laughing so many times along the way. I am a massive fan of your work, which has greatly increased my love of history. Again, thank you both - what a perfect podcasting duo!

Finally onto Claudius!
Greatest Podcast of All Time
I never would’ve thought that ancient history could be interesting. Now I listen to 2-3 hours of Roman history a day as I commute to and from work. I’m still catching up but I’m already looking forward to Cam and Ray’s other podcasts. Cam and Ray are so good they even pop into your head at inappropriate times, in particular them laughing about the quote “passengers are never allowed on board until the hold is full”.
This podcast is the most entertaining podcast I’ve listened to and is massively binge worthy. Well worth a listen.
