Excellent content. The creator does a good job providing context and insights into the daily life of different people groups. This podcast is a great deep dive into Roman history.

Just as entertaining as other history podcasts but often more insightful due to not exclusively focussing on the stories of the "great people" but also of the ordinary people and how their life was shaped by historical developments.

Description

Barbarians, political breakdown, economic collapse, mass migration, pillaging and plunder. The fall of the Roman Empire has been studied for years, but genetics, climate science, forensic science, network models, and globalization studies have reshaped our understanding of one of the most important events in human history. PhD historian and specialist Patrick Wyman brings the cutting edge of history to listeners in plain, relatable English.
