A PODCAST FOR LOVERS OF ANCIENT ROME’S LOST HEROES
The Lost Roman Heroes Podcast
Welcome to the Lost Roman Heroes podcast! We are nerds for Rome! Join us as we explore the lost heroes from Roman history that were critical to the evolution, and survival of Rome, from its mythical founding (in the smoldering ruins of Troy) to its last breath with the death of Constantine XI on May 29th, 1453 when Constantinople fell to the Ottoman Turks. We will cover some familiar names, and many more lesser known heroes that stood up when the odds were grim and the future bleak so that Rome would survive. Join us on our adventure, and help us, share names of history makers so that together we can unpack, and unearth, the unforgotten past that contributed mightily to the world we know today..
