Fresh Podcasts
Welcome to Satura Lanx, upper beginner / intermediate podcast told in beginner-friendly, easy spoken Latin. Every other Saturday I chat about everything concerning Latin (literature, language, culture), my own life and reflections and the questions you’ll ask me.
This episode essentially talks about the history of history writing, and what history writing has meant for the wider world over the timelines of history itself.
