    Episode 286 - Vantage Point

    Episode 286 - Vantage Point

    The narrative returns as we head back to 1204 and the sack of Constantinople. The arrival of the Latins had actually splintered the Roman world into at least 13 different states.
    With a little help from the 2008 film 'Vantage Point' we will be following the different perspectives of these actors as they deal with the fallout from the sack.
    We begin with the story of Alexios V Doukas who fled the city just before it fell.
    Period: 1204

    Episode 285 - Totalus Rankium

    I speak to Rob and Jamie from the podcast Totalus Rankium. Their show is a light hearted ranking of every Roman Emperor from Augustus to Constantine XI. It's a really fun listen and they include all the amusing stories which I edited out of Byzantine history.
    They have a sister show where they rank American Presidents. Find both shows here.
