“With our Euro-centric view of history very little is learned about the Roman Empire after Rome falls in the fourth century. Well, the Romans go on to thrive and fail in Constantinople, the gateway between the east and west, for another millennium. Mr. Brownsworth provides a peek into this fascinating world in an engage-able, approachable manner. You may just be left in tears hearing about the siege & fall of Constantinople in 1453. The push and pull between the dominating powers of the east and west have been going on for thousands of years. Lastly, the most important insight I gained from listening to this podcast is that a nation is the most vulnerable to external foes when a nation is divided within. I hope the US comes together.”
