Podcasts

The History of Rome (M. Duncan)

These episodes were created by Mike Duncan of The History of Rome podcast. He more or less started at the beginning in 753 BC and didn’t stop until he got to 476 AD – so they are “in order” and very linear (ie each episode picks where the last one left off).

The History of Rome (A. Martin)

These episodes were created by A. Martin of (a different) The History of Rome podcast. He picks interesting aspects of Roman history and then does mini-series like the one below on the Punic Wars. He more or less goes in order, but skips majors things that he doesn’t find as interesting like the Macedonian and Seleucid Wars.

The Ancients

These episodes were created by Tristan Hughes from The Ancients podcast. Sometime he does mini-series and other times he does single episodes on topics. I tried to put these in chronological order, but they may not always “flow” from episode to episode since I might have a miniseries, then a couple of stand alone episodes, and then another mini series.

The Rest is History

These episodes were created by Tom Holland (who has written several books on Roman history) and Dominic Sandbrook as part of their The Rest Is History podcast. They are two mini-series, one about the rise of Carthage and the other about Hannibal and the Second Punic War. Needless to say there is lots about this period in history which has been left out.
