63. Bahram II
This newest Bahram comes highly recommended by his father and the religious establishment, anyone else? Not really. Oh and this comes at a time when all the Sassanid neighbors are in turmoil? Excellent.

62. Bahram I
Bahram was never meant to be king of kings, but now he's finally gotten the job thanks to good old-fashioned corruption. Will he herald a new golden age? No. Will he commit some atrocities? You can bet on it.

60. Shapur I
The Sassanids have started strong and now Shapur has stepped up to the throne. In a lifetime full of action, he's going to make sure to treat the empire's fatigue with some very fine Valerian.

Customer Reviews
Great show
I Hope you do the Safavids
Lots of fun for the casual history fan
I was on the fence for the first couple episodes, as the hosts were still finding their voice and style. But by Astyages, I was hooked. This is a lot of fun if you're someone like me who wants something informative but also entertaining to get you through the work day or a long drive. It's really cute when Sariel gets excited about something, and I appreciate all the work Umberto has put into the research. Would you guys consider a separate podcast once this is over doing a deep dive into The Histories by Herodotus? Would love to hear you discuss that. Thank you for putting this out there. Cheers!
fantastic!
you both have me laughing and i am only on episode two! GREAT JOB! Thank you
