We begin this season’s narrative on the Danube where periodic raids by the Romans and Slavs simmer along the frontier—until an unexpected spark triggers a conflagration that engulfs the entire eastern Mediterranean.

In this last episode of setup, we explore what daily life looked like for the farmers who made up most of the population of the khaganate, considering everything from their homes to their meals, crafts, and habits.

As we explore the khaganate in more depth, we take a look at the subject peoples who lived under Avar dominion, their ways of life, and the relationships they negotiated with their overlords to advance their own interests.

In the year 602, the lands north of the Danube were dominated by the Avars, a little-known people from the steppes. In this episode, we take a look at their origins, values, and the khaganate they established to rival the Roman empire.

Well researched, easy listening, and very informative. Eastern Europe generally is often overlooked and not talked about enough. Romania’s history comes alive in this podcast and I highly recommend.
Great to see a Romanian history podcast. Much needed area in the world of history podcasts.
I just adore this podcast. Not only does he have a soothing tone, but you can tell how much effort he puts into these episodes, as he adds helpful resources and goes to lengths to explain the lives of everyday people as well, something even other good history podcasts can slack behind in. This is the forming diamond of my crown of Balkan history podcasts(Bulgaria, Romania, Yugoslavia). TLDR: It’s really good and a fascinating time all through. A
