Phenomenal historical accounts
My absolute favorite podcast hands down. Nick is an excellent storyteller and always brings tremendous energy to the show. Can’t recommend this and Byzantium and the Crusades enough!
Worthy and Timely Addition
With comparisons beginning to emerge between early warning signs for US hegemony and the crisis of the 3rd century, this is a welcome addition to the histories.
Wonderful
Have listened to all the podcast and learnt so much!!! Nick’s style is very educational, informative and you can feel his passion for Roman history. It is like Edward Gibbons in podcast format and as Nick said once on Gibbons’ work this podcast is an”amazing masterpiece”
