Customer Reviews
Love it but no episode 10?
Thanks for a great journey- but missing the end- sad but amazing
Thank You Both For Your Work; Florida USA
Simply put, Matt and Rhiannon continue to selflessly work for Roman history nuts like ourselves. I am a huge fan of this duo’s work, from Emperors of Rome, to When in Rome, to this outstanding podcast as well.
Thank you both for your amazing contribution. Your material never gets tiring and you’re much loved in my neck of the woods!
Fantastic
Please do season 2, I love this sideways look at how ancient Rome is still so much of our culture and media.
