Vicious civil wars. Gruelling sieges. Rebellious provinces, galling betrayals and tribes seeking revenge… Join us for the first series of History’s Greatest Battles, where we’re heading back to the Roman empire. Emily Briffett is joined by historian Dr Adrian Goldsworthy to look back at five of the most fascinating clashes of this ancient civilisation, taking in the action blow by blow and identifying the major moments and key commanders that shaped events. They’ll also be uncovering what the military engagements of this mighty superpower can reveal about the age of the emperors, and asking: how history might have turned out differently had things gone the other way?

Love this podcast because they bring real historians on to be like “this conspiracy theory is laughably wrong, but these are the socio-political reasons why it resonates with people”
Bad start but promising

The concept is terrific and interesting. The show could be great. However, the first “expert” made his case on the Hitler suicide without acknowledging any of the oddities of the case. He was close-minded. Later, he went on a rant about conspiracy theories in general, blaming the lack of gatekeepers on the internet and populist politicians. History is not tied up in a neat bow and I have certainly had enough of elitists telling me to accept and obey.
