About this listen

In this episode, Lucas and Luna explore the final centuries of ancient Egypt, focusing on the economic and administrative unraveling under Roman rule. They discuss the Antonine Plague's devastating impact, the rise of inflation and the debasement of the tetradrachm, the flight of peasants known as anachoresis, and the crushing burden of the liturgy system. Key figures include the Roman prefect Tiberius Julius Alexander, the rebel Isidorus from the Great Revolt of 172 CE, Emperor Diocletian, and the philosopher Hypatia of Alexandria. The episode also covers the rise of the Christian monastic movement in the Egyptian desert as a parallel response to state decline, and ends with the final blow: the assassination of Hypatia and the destruction of the Serapeum, marking the end of the ancient world.
