001- In the Beginning
Added 2007-07-28 00:47:00 +0000 UTCWelcome to The History of Rome, a weekly series tracing the rise and fall of the Roman Empire. Today we will hear the mythical origin story of Rome and compare it with modern historical and archaeological evidence. How much truth is wrapped up in the legend? We end this week with the death of Remus and the founding of Rome.

Maybe I'm just nostalgic, but hearing Mike's & the podcast's evolution is part of the joy of listening all the way through. It's slightly rough around the edges in the early episodes, but these were the early days of podcasting. They're still well worth your time.

2024-11-05 14:52:22 +0000 UTCTo anyone just trying it out, this is definitely Mike Duncan’s learning curve stage. There’s a reason he’s considered a legendary history podcaster, but it takes him a few hundred years to get there. Maybe as a patreon extra he could consider an episode revisiting the early Republic….
