There are many stories of the founding of Rome. Dr. Gary Forsythe, Texas Tech University, joins the show to explore how Rome was formed in mythology and legend.
It’s time for a special episode of The Ozymandias Project with Lexie Henning! Tuck in your togas and hop aboard Trireme Transit for an hour long odyssey as we discussed her path from journalism in Lebanon into gaming, using the Bible to trick her mom into not confiscating her books, potentially using “Old World” to teach history, increasing female representation in the gaming industry and inspiring women to break stereotypes.
