Volume 18Do you have a favorite Roman history podcast or book?
Listener question & Gary’s response · Transcript passage
My final question this month comes from Luie Smit who asks Do you have a favorite Roman history podcast or book? Everything everywhere has really piqued my curiosity about everything Roman and I would love to learn more.
The book I would recommend to get started with Roman history would be SPQR by Mary Beard. It is a great introductory book that will give you a starting point from which you can dive deeper into other topics. As for a podcast, I’d have to recommend The History of Rome by Mike Duncan. The podcast ended over 12 years ago, but it remains one of the best Roman history podcasts. It is a liner telling of the story of Rome from its founding to the fall of the western empire.
