Why so many podcasts to this guy?
Cicero mentions Sumptuary Laws in Rome's past, designed to restrict displays of wealth, that would have predated Augustus and Caesar.
I'm a late Comer to this podcast (last two months) and am really enjoying it. Matt and Riannon are really well suited to each other . Loving Matt's mischievous sense of humor, and am totally impressed with the Riannons knowledge about Roman history. Amazed that anyone can remember those complicated Roman names, and complicated relationships between the families of the emperors. Kudos to you both.
I think I will love this podcast. I learned Roman an Greek history in high school many zillion years ago. I have very few teachers and professors I remember kindly. My Latin teacher made an impression on me after 30 years. True learning continues after school. I found this station on the mist of the Covid-19. I can work from home and learn at the same time. Thank you
Yess! If you're Welsh then you're definitely not English 😂😂
I am loving this podcast, everything is in bitesize chunks and but not too simple it holds my interest! Question, you recommended reading Suetonius. Are youbh speaking generally, or his book the Twelve Caesars? Thank you
Once more a very good podcast. Except for the first few minutes which may play well for a live audience but fall flat in a podcast. Ok so maybe more people in the live audience than listening to the podcast but I sure hope not.
Awesome podcast. Antonia Minor was also considered highly among the romans as an ideal Roman woman.
Just a note on Classic Latin, the “V” has a “wuw” or “W” sound. So “Salve” would sound like “Sulway”. “V” has a “vee” sound around year 200 AD.
Great show but you do skip a lot of history. Not much detail on the military battles nor economic details. But, you bring up items that have not heard on 1) History of Rome 2) Totalis Rankium
This also proves that true Christianity is not Roman Catholicism and that Roman Catholicism in a way continues the Roman empire with a Christian veneer but nowhere near is it original Christianity
