I enjoy the podcast but I find the titles so cute I don't know the topic or which emperor is being covered. For me a more declarative title world lure me in. I sometimes skip episodes entirely when I don't know gist of the episode.

This podcast is a great follow up or lead in to Mike Duncan's The History of Rome. I love the short segments and the scholarship! Give it a listen. You won't be disappointed!
