Aristophanes’ The Clouds is a dazzling satire on Athenian philosophy, showing a very different Socrates than Plato’s.
Life Of Caesar
Life of Augustus #51 – Dark Shadow
It’s late 23 BCE. Agrippa leaves Rome and makes his home in Lesbos. Rumours fly. Meanwhile there are still plagues, famine and natural disasters in Rome. The dark shadow of death lies over at least one member of Augustus’ inner circle.

“Crisis? What Crisis?” these words may have brought down a labour govenment in the 1970s*, but when Diocletian uttered them in in the 280s everyone saw it as a challenge chaos that had prevaled for the last 50 years. Let’s face it, it’s time someone rolled up their sleves and sorted this mess out…

Episode XIX – Temple of Jupiter Optimus Maximus
https://soundcloud.com/wheninromepodcast/episode-xix-temple-of-jupiter-optimus-maximus
If you had to name a god that the Romans worshipped above all others it would have to be Jupiter, and the temple of Jupiter Optimus Maximus on the Capitoline Hill was the most important temple in the empire. While the building is long since destroyed we have a good idea of what it looked like, thanks to the attention of Roman writers.

The Maritime History Podcast
028 – Unlocking the Pontus Euxinus
http://maritimehistorypodcast.libsyn.com/028-unlocking-the-pontus-euxinus
In today’s installment, we’ll tell a tale of two cities in one sense. The age of colonization in Greece had an early leader in the island of Euboea, but as the Euboeans were stretched thin, Corinth and Miletus rose to become the leaders of Greek colonization. We’ll look at the wealth that Corinth controlled thanks partially to her location, but also to the diolkos and other maritime innovations that she instituted. Our second city of focus is Miletus, the ‘jewel of Ionia’. She was at the forefront of the Greek push into the Euxine Sea, or, the Black Sea. So after laying out the geography of the ‘Pontus Euxinus’ and her approaches, we’ll look at the colonies, resources, and importance of the Greek effort to unlock the Black Sea. We also consider the aeinautae, a group of magistrates who ruled Miletus by sailing out to sea and weighing anchor until they’d made whatever decision was at hand. An interesting method of governing, to be sure.

Myths and Legends
59-Greek Myths: The Violence of Our Ancestors
Many connected stories from Greek mythology. We’ll start with story of Hades and Persephone, and learn why she’s always hanging around the underworld (hint: it’s not because she wants to). Then, I’ll tell the story of the curse of the house of Atreus, starting with Tantalus and his questionable food choices. It’s a long, dark episode, so get ready. The creature is the Nakki, from Finland, who just wants to drown you and look good while doing it. Is that too much to ask?

48 Numerian
http://totalusrankium.podbean.com/e/48-numerian/
Murder! Death! Intrigue! ok, Numerian’s rule was no more interesting than you last drive across the country, but with added eye pain, but his death is a murder mystery that would make Columbo stop and ask just one more thing. So, who killed him? The evil Aper, or the diabolical Diocles?
49 Carinus

The end of the Crisis is here! Does Carinus usher in a new golden age? Or is he the last of the dregs that have to be hosed down the drain pipe before Rome can get on its feet again? You can probably guess by the length of the episode! But who knows? Maybe he has that certain Je Na Caesar?

… that’s all for this week; we’ll try to make this a weekly thing
Preface: years and years ago, my first foray into ‘ancient history newsletters’ was a thing called The Ancient World on Television (AWOTV). It was very popular, but unfortunately over time, the stations which purported to be presenting ‘history’ documentaries (e.g. the History Channel) became more interested in ‘reality’ shows and it became increasingly frustrating trying to find material. Over the past while I’ve been toying with the idea of sort of resurrecting the AWOTV, but this time focusing on things like podcasts (note the list of podcasts on the title bar above this) and a variety of things from Youtube (documentaries, lectures, etc.). The initial idea — I’ll see how long this works — is to present links to podcasts which were updated that week (if possible), some ‘blasts from the past’ which might be of interest, and some video content. It’s not meant to be exhaustive, but should give you enough material to occupy your downtime as needed. Ideally this will be posted on a weekly basis (probably on Sundays). So without further ado, my initial foray into this project:
