    Lost Roman Heroes - Episode 95: Lost Roman Women with Ladies of Lore
    May 17 2026
    This week we're doing something a little different. We've joined forces with the wonderful Ladies of Lore, a podcast dedicated to the fierce, forgotten and fascinating women of history, mythology and folklore, to bring you three exceptional women who helped keep Rome alive when the men around them were dropping the ball. Galla Placidia, who survived sack, exile and captivity to rule the Western Empire. Anicia Juliana, who outmaneuvered an emperor to build the greatest church in Constantinople. And Theodora, who told a room full of panicking men exactly what she thought of running away.

We follow the Avars and the Slavs as they push the Balkans to the breaking point. And we watch as one man's iron discipline, the very quality that made him great , becomes the thing that destroys him. A fatal order. A mutiny. A centurion named Phocas. And an ending that even Gibbon of the severe and vicious tongue could barely bring himself to describe.

    Lost Roman Heroes - Episode 93: Mauricius (Part 1 - The Rise)
    Apr 19 2026
    The young man from Arabissus catches the eye of Tiberius, rises through the Excubitors, and is sent to command the Roman eastern legions in the middle of a major Roman-Persian war with no experience under his belt! And what does the paper pusher do? He wins! And wins again, pushing Roman arms deeper into Persian territory than they have been for many decades. When Emperor Tiberius dies, the rising star Mauricius becomes the new Augustus and gets to work, making radical changes to prepare Rome for a new world, creating the Exarchates, penning the Strategikon, and cutting fat in the legions, while making many, many new enemies in the process...
