The Classical Antiquity SidequestSidequest 20 - Madeleine Duperouzel on Empress Theodora#byzantine #theodora #byzantineempire #ancientrome #romanempire #classicalantiquity #antiquityIn an effort to help bridge the gap between "Byzantine" and Roman history, I reached out to Madeleine Duperouzel to see if she'd be interested in talking about Empress Theodora. Madeleine was more than happy to, so the result is an outstanding episode regarding a legendary figure in Roman history. After briefly covering finicky weather patterns, we discuss Theodora's life, her historical significance and how she has been treated by her contemporaries and by later historians. This naturally involves a discussion about the historical inkblot that is The Secret History...2025-05-1159 min

The Classical Antiquity SidequestSidequest 19 - Ben and Victor Review Two Terrible Movies Set in Roman Britain#moviereview #romanhistory #ancientrome #antiquity #classicalantiquity #thelastlegion #centurionFirst, apologies for my audio at times in the podcast. I'm not sure what happened. Second, apologies for the two movies we're about to review. While the Centurion squandered a chance to be good, The Last Legion is just awful. As we discuss these movies, we reference the brilliant Black Zeus X and then try to figure out what it is that Hollywood gets wrong when it makes movies "based on" Antiquity. We also discuss how great actors are constantly wasted in these movies and resurrect the term "McNulty Subplot".2025-04-301h 06

The Classical Antiquity SidequestSidequest 18 - Dr. Liz Gloyn Discusses Seneca and his Stoic Philosophy#stoicism #stoic #stoicphilosophy #seneca #philosophy #ancientrome #ancientgreece #classicalantiquity #antiquityAs I mentioned on an earlier episode, I've been wanting to put together a series of episodes about what we collectively consider to be significant works from Antiquity. One such work is Seneca's Letters. Fortunately, I was able to find Dr. Liz Gloyn who is an expert on Seneca. She stopped by to talk about Seneca's letters, his Stoic origin story and how he ended up in the proximity of the imperial court. Dr. Gloyn also covers some of Seneca's other writings which we should all take a...2025-04-111h 12

The Classical Antiquity SidequestSidequest 17 - Collecting Ancient Coins with Dean and Josh#coins #coincollecting #numismatics #ancientcoins #antiquity #ancientgree #ancientrome #romanhistory #greekhistoryAs a companion to our recent episode with Dr. Le Blanc, I thought it would be interesting to do an episode about collecting ancient coins. I reached out to Kinzer Coins and the result is this episode with Dean and Josh. After discussing their origin stories, Dean and Josh tell us what collectors should know when they start collecting, where to buy coins, how to store coins and grail pieces. I hope you all learn something from this and are more informed if you decide to start a...2025-03-3154 min

The Classical Antiquity SidequestSidequest 16 - Dr. Robyn Le Blanc and Ancient Coins#ancientcoins #romancoins #greekcoins #antiquity #classicalantiquity #coinsThose of us who are casual fans of Antiquity spend a lot of time talking about our favorite emperors and kings, in addition to discussing specific battles of significance along with myths and legends. One thing we probably don't spend enough time talking about is ancient currency and the various purposes coins were used for during Antiquity. To remedy that,Dr. Robyn Le Blanc hopped on the pod to discuss numismatics (the study of coins and other units of currency). Turns out that coins were used for a lot more than...2025-03-111h 09

The Classical Antiquity SidequestSidequest 15 - Nathaniel Katz on Imperial Transitions#ancientrome #romanempire #romanemperors #romanhistory #antiquityIn follow up to a suggestion by Dr. Kaldellis as to future podcast episodes, I reached toDr. Nat Katz at Arizona to discuss how the Roman state handled transitions of power. During our discussion, we delve into general types of imperial transitions and the risks associated with such events. This includes detailing risks to those who chose the ultimate losing side in a power struggle, risks to those outside the walls of power and whether the Roman bureaucracy continued to function when a power vacuum opened up. It turns out the state...2025-02-1155 min

The Classical Antiquity SidequestSidequest 14 - Dr. Roshan Abraham on Apollonius of Tyana#ancientrome #ancientgreece #ancienthistory #apollonius #pagan #jesus #religioushistory #classics #classicalantiquity #antiquity #dccomics The latest Sidequest takes us to the First Century CE to study the interesting historical figure that is Apollonius of Tyana. Apollonius is typically associated with Jesus and serves as a sort of "Pagan Jesus", whatever that term may mean. It turns out there's more to Apollonius than just that. Studying Apollonius provides with greater insight to the time in which Jesus lived and the historical narrative surrounding holy men and cult figures from that time period. Our guide for this Sidequest is Dr...2025-01-111h 00

While this movie got overlooked when it was released, it's a pretty darned enjoyable flick that we highly recommend. There are some predictable accuracy issues, but The Eagle gets a lot of the Roman fighting techniques correct. That's not common when it comes to Hollywood and is just one reason this movie should be appreciated. From a plot perspective, The Eagle follows Marcus...2025-01-0158 min

The Classical Antiquity SidequestSidequest 12 - Anthony Kaldellis on the "Byzantine Empire" and Roman Identity#byzantineempire #byzantium #byzantines #romanempire #rome #romans #ancientrome #ancientgreece #classics #antiquity #classicalantiquity #ancienthistory In the latest episode of the Sidequest, Anthony Kaldellis, author of many books including The New Roman Empire, stops by to discuss his podcast Byzantium & Friends, how the academic community is starting to embrace podcasts as a medium to communicate with a wider audience, the narratives surrounding Antiquity, including when it "ended", in the Western and Eastern imperial provinces and the importance of the "Byzantines" to Antiquity and the Classics. We also discuss the naming convention behind use of the term "Byzantine" and the important...2024-12-111h 11

The Classical Antiquity SidequestSidequest 11 - Jeremy Swist on Late Antiquity#lateantiquity #paganism #pagans #rome #ancientrome #earlychristianity #antiquity #julian #juliantheapostate Dr. Jeremy Swist, a professor at Grand Valley State University, stopped by to discuss the historical period of time known as "Late Antiquity". This is an era of time I know very, very little about, so I enjoyed the introduction to what is a fascinating area of study. It turns out that this is an evolving field that covers a period of transition for the Roman Empire from generally 200 CE to 700 CE (the precise time is open for debate). As the focus moves away from the Italian Peninsula...2024-11-111h 17

The Classical Antiquity SidequestSidequest 10 - Zachary Herz on Elagabalus and Toxic Roman Masculinity#elagabalus #romanhistory #romanempire #ancientrome #rome #antiquity #classicalantiquity Dr. Zachary Herz stopped by to talk about one of the more interesting emperors in Roman history, Elagabalus. Despite having a fairly short reign (ruled from 218 CE - 222 CE), he's become a significant historical figure. Elagabalus was a teenage emperor who ruled during what turned out to be a transitional era for the Empire. The Roman elite, threatened by this young ruler, embarked on a campaign to denigrate and insult him by attacking him as feminine and a woman. This involves a discussion about Roman sexual norms. So, just prepare...2024-10-1558 min

The Classical Antiquity SidequestSidequest 9 - Antiquity on Screen with Dr. Monica Cyrino#hbrorome #spartacus #bettercallsaul #thoseabouttodie #gladiator #ancientrome #troyfallofacity #troy #ancientgreece #antiquity Dr. Monica Cyrino, a consultant for many TV and film projects, stopped by to talk about the opportunities streaming services created for stories from Antiquity. We cover a host of movies and TV shows including Troy: Fall of a City, STARZ' Spartacus (which is an insanely over-the-top show), Those About to Die and a few gladiator films (I bet you can guess which ones we're talking about). Somewhat unexpectedly, we talk a lot about Ridley Scott movies which isn't a bad thing, I just didn't see that...2024-09-161h 32

The Classical Antiquity SidequestSidequest 8 - Dr. Helen Lovatt on Trauma in The Aeneid#ptsd #trauma #theaeneid #virgil #aeneas #dido #literature #antiquity #troy #ancientrome #rome #romanhistory #poetry #classicalantiquity The Aeneid is one of the most popular and significant works of literature. It is an amazing story that serves as the origin story for Rome, but, more than that, it tells a story of coping with trauma. In fact, trauma permeates practically every character from Aeneas, who may suffer from PTSD, dealing with the loss of his homeland and countrymen to Dido and her tragic life to the Italians who find themselves engulfed in war when the Trojans arrive. Through The Aeneid...2024-09-021h 06

The Classical Antiquity SidequestSidequest 7 - The Cult of Mithras#mithras #romanreligion #ancientrome #mithraism #mithraictemples #classicalantiquity #antiquity #paganism #cultofmithras #rudyardkipling #pagan #pagans In this Sidequest, we cover the ancient Cult of Mithras with the expert on the subject matter, Dr. David Walsh. This cult spread pretty widely throughout the Roman Empire and has remained a topic of interest for historians, archaeologists and people with passing interest in Roman history (like me!). During our talk, we cover many topics including the pronunciation of Mithras (no agreed way!), how the cult spread throughout the Empire, how widespread it became, the causes of its decline, what our sources of the...2024-08-151h 17

The Classical Antiquity SidequestSidequest 6 - Ben and Victor Review 300#300 #300movie #thisissparta #ancientgreece #classicalantiquity #antiquity #sparta #zacksnyder In our first movie review episode, our old friend Victor Lamas stops by to give us his thoughts on the Zack Snyder epic 300. It takes us a while to say "This is Sparta!" but we get there. Eventually. During the review, we cover a lot of topics in this review including the miscasting of Dominic West (Jimmy McNulty from The Wire) as Theron as opposed to a soldier, coin the term "McNulty Subplot", cover what the film got right and scratch our heads over why Hollywood feels the...2024-07-151h 06

The Classical Antiquity SidequestSidequest 5 - Sports in Ancient Greece with Dr. Amy Pistone#ancientgreece #theolympics #greeksports #classicalantiquity #antiquity #theacc Dr. Amy Pistone from basketball powerhouse Gonzaga stopped by to talk about sports in Ancient Greece. Before we delve into Antiquity, we cover Dr. Pistone's background, her ties to new ACC member Cal, her career as a football and basketball official and her experience running marathons. As you might guess, we take a number of sidequests including one about The Aeneid. If you're bothered by our detours, remember that the name of the podcast includes "SIDEQUEST", so, let me just say, "Sorry, not sorry." In all seriousness, this was a lot...2024-06-181h 10

The Classical Antiquity SidequestSidequest 4 - Augustus, First Citizen#augustus #ancientrome #romanempire #theaeneid #dido #marcusagrippa #octavian Our friend Dr. Gerrish stopped by the podcast to discuss the first Roman Emperor (or Princeps, if you will), Augustus. We cover how he managed to seize (and consolidate) power and overcome his rivals, the different names he went by, his legacy as an administrator and the importance of his First Lieutenant, Marcus Agrippa. We also discuss whether Augustus could be considered a tyrant and spend a good deal of time talking about two Roman TV shows - the BBC production of "I, Claudius" and HBO's "Rome". Oh...2024-06-021h 09

The Classical Antiquity SidequestSidequest 3 - Scotland, The Romans and Walls#scotland #ancientrome #romanscotland #antiquity #classicalantiquity #rome Our third sidequest takes us to Roman Scotland, or "Barbaricum" (The Land of the Barbarians) as it was known back in Antiquity. Dr. Andrew Tibbs is our guide on this quest. During our interview, we discuss the Roman invasions of Scotland, the native tribes, the incomplete historical narrative we have and the famous walls the Romans constructed. We also discuss how the Romans and the Scots interacted with another another. And, so you know, it turns out that archeology is critical to understanding Roman Scotland. So, if you want to become...2024-05-131h 00

Dr. David Parnell, professor at Indiana University NW and author of Belisarius & Antonia, stops by to discuss one of Late Antiquity's greatest generals, Belisarius. During our almost hour-long interview, we discuss how we got saddled with the term "Byzantine Empire", Belisarius' career and the times in which he lived. Turns out his wife, Antonina, was a pretty big deal in her own right. I hope my wife doesn't read...2024-04-261h 07

The Classical Antiquity SidequestSidequest 1 - Alexander the Great with Victor Lamas#alexanderthegreat #classicalantiquity #ancientgreece We’re kicking off the Classical Antiquity Sidequest podcast with an episode about the ultimate historical figure from Antiquity – Alexander the Great! My friend Victor Lamas stopped by the podcast to talk about one of the most studied and most influential historical figures. Topics of discussion include how Alexander conquered the Persian Empire, his skill on the battlefield (the dude never lost a battle!), his successes as a diplomat and the movies that have been made about Alexander. We also delve into a sidequest about the 1970 masterpiece Waterloo. Highly recommend that to all. I thin...2024-04-021h 17
