Best Roman Empire Podcast
Hands down the best Roman Empire podcast out there. Well informed and full of interesting details about the Roman Empire and its emperors. The Matt Smith and Rhiannon Evans couple is great, the crack good jokes here and there and make you have a great time while you’re commuting. I’ve spent the better part of the last month listening to it and can’t have enough!
My TOP 1 For Roman historia
I have spent the last two years studying the ancient Roman History, from its mythical foundation to the division of the empire.
On my quest I ha e read a lot of books, seen many documentaries and heard a bunch of podcasts. So, I feel entitled to say that Emperors of Rome is, by far, the BEST source you can find to better understand the imperial Rome.
Matt and Riannon (I feels as if I
Was part of the gang) are rigorous, yet fun to listen to. They bring history to a level everyone enjoys.
Hope to hear more from you, from this side of the world!!!!!!
