After 21 hours of history of rome so far, I thought I check in and say thanks for this amazing content. Truly, thank you and well done.

For some reason I've always really liked Agrippa and the friendship between him and Augustus. He may be one of the most underrated generals in history.

After all these episodes I’d like to say this is the best “History of Rome” I’ve heard. Thank you, and please, keep it up

[alclay]

Hands down best series on YouTube. Thank you for the hours of constant intrigue and knowledge. Can't wait to wake up tomorrow and hear more

2024 now, and listening to all these wonderful podcasts following a recommendation from Prof. John Cochrane of Stanford. Thank you both!

This is so well done. I like the down to earth approach. You don’t sacrifice accuracy in order to sound clever and entertaining. If you can get sponsors that aren’t too intrusive, go for it. You’ve earned the right.

Love the Orwell/Stalin reference on Octavian’s purge of Anthony…

It’s 1984 and 1948 a full two millennia prior.

Hey Mike, been with you since 2014.
Im currently on the english civil war revolutions and beyond but listening to this (the algorithm sent me back) just makes me want to say its nice to be back here in REUM.

It is the year of our Lord 2023 and there are still very few things I can think of that would be cooler then a mock naval battle held in a lake. Seriously that sounds like the most amazing spectacle ever.

I'm rewatching the excellent I Claudius production in conjunction with listening to the relevant episodes of your wonderful series and reading wikipedia history pages on the main protagonists.

I first watched I Claudius on FTA TV at age 15 and, whilst enthralled by the performances and main plot,
I failed to follow the detail of the relationships (which my new understanding reveals are quite convoluted),

It is fascinating that aspects of the Julio-Claudian dictatorship of this ancient culture, which has myriad influences on contemporary society, is illuminated for us through these three platforms!

[jayrox]

This my third time listening through
Excellent attention to detail. Your comments & opinions are a nice touch.

[adriaankemp]

Falling asleep with this podcast nearly every night.😊

Thank you so very much for uploading this amazing series. I am an insomniac but I don't loose any sleep over that. These make the wee hours that much more bearable.

[TMH-zo]

I am really enjoying this podcast. Than you so much for all the hard work you did putting it together!

[kamikazemelon]
