The History of Rome

There are quite few history podcasts out there. The History of Rome is one of the best. As the name suggest the The History of Rome is a weekly podcast about Roman history. This weekly podcast traces the history of the Roman Empire from its humble beginnings to its great decline. I started listening to this podcast a few episodes in, and have been hooked ever since.

The podcast is hosted by Mike Duncan, whose narration is top notch. My knowledge of Roman history is pretty advanced but I learn something every week from this podcast. Each epidsode is a linear march through Roman history. We have finally reached the fall of the Republic and the beginnings of the Empire. The narrative nature of Roman history make for a great podcast. There is such a cast of characters in Roman history that the past comes alive.

I highly recommended anyone with an interest in ancient history to subscribe to the podcast. Mike has recently moved his blog to The History of Rome Blog
