    I found this podcast when searching for labienus. Great show. Also, you could do an episode about famed legionnaires like gaius crastinus or Titus pullo or Lucius favonius.

  • Fun, Informative & Wholesome!

    These guys are awesome. I learn a lot about my Italian roots all while feeling like I’m in on the banter, and the discovery of deeply fascinating and exciting history. I love the reflexivity of these two; the acknowledgement of women, their humility in their knowledge and their consistent willingness to accept constructive feedback. This podcast is informative while retaining authenticity and humour.
