I wish I could remember but I think it's somewhere in the episodes on Constantine.

I've just started watching his series about Rome, starting it's the Punic wars, and it seems pretty good. Although why does he keep on referring to Rome as an empire in every instance. It kind of bugs me a little.

He means empire, not Empire. In the sense that we might say banking empire, or real estate empire, today.

Isn't it a later helmet?

Byzantium's fine except for putting a couple of narrative important episodes behind a paywall and is probably the best of "HoR" style podcasts. I'd like the History of England more if I could actually understand what the fuck he's saying but sadly the English suck at speaking English.

Rome was an empire from a very early date. The "Principate", or what Augustus instituted, named for the Princeps, first citizen, is sometimes called "The Empire", but it isn't really meaningful. You have to understand the structure of the Roman political system to understand why. The position Augustus Caesar held was more like that of Sulla than that of Justinian. Augustus basically made the sort of military dictatorship that held flared up off and on for several generations prior into a lasting position.

Anytime else re-listening to it? I'm catching a lot of shit I missed before

Don't worry it starts back up again in 1947.

>>2984800
I am. It got depressing after Trajan, what a shit show of uninterrupted incompetent emperors.

>>2984800
I am. Currently on the stuff involving Theodosius, Magnus Maximus and Ambrose. Fuck all three of them by the way, especially Theodosius.

Damn. I know that the new generation always idolizes those who came before the, with even Caesar weeping when he compared himself to Alexander but this really makes me feel.

I did a year or so ago. Allthough I started at the fall of Nero.
