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.

A perfect sequel

Harder job to do than History of Rome, done just as eell if not better. only thing I hate about it is that I know how it ends.
