A perfect sequel

Robin picks up the story of Rome and does it justice in this perfect sequel for the History of Rome. Not simply a mere continuation, Robin introduces a new style of personal story telling that takes you to the world of Byzantium and brings the characters to life.

This podcast is the gold standard and I can't recommend it highly enough.

Brilliant

Outstanding, especially if you liked "The History of Rome" podcast by Mike Duncan. Interesting and well researched.
