Episode CCXXXII - Carus and Sons

As the wild and crazy experiment of the 3rd century winds to a conclusion, a man named Carus steps into the purple, with an imperial dynasty ready to go. But Rome has grown unwieldy.

Guest: Associate Professor Caillan Davenport (Head of the Centre for Classical Studies at the Australian National University)
