The Fall of Rome Podcast

Patrick Wyman · 33 episodes · 23 hours

Thirty-five episodes, finished, by a historian who wrote his doctorate on exactly this. Wyman's argument is that nothing fell in a year; the machinery of the state came apart slowly and locally, and most people inside it never noticed. The best thing in audio on late antiquity.
