My favorite historical podcast

What do we really know about ancient Rome? How much did the Romans themselves know about their remote past? Can anyone make sense of the evidence available? In this podcast series, a pair of modern historians each tackle these questions through the lens of two ancient historians, Livy and Dionysius, constructing a narrative of Rome's early history that does justice to what the Romans themselves believed, what archeology continues to reveal, and the different uses to which Roman history has been put in subsequent eras. But historiographical rigor aside, this series is above all fun—not a strained look through a glass darkly, but an episodic spinning kaleidoscope, entertaining us with unexpected angles on the past.
