About this listen

Close your eyes and step back in time to the fading days of the Roman Empire. In this calm and steady retelling, we’ll explore why once-great Roman cities slowly emptied and crumbled during the Middle Ages.

You’ll hear about the decline of trade and roads, the fall of aqueducts and baths, and how shifting populations left forums and amphitheaters silent. From invasions and plagues to new medieval kingdoms rising in their place, the story of abandoned Roman cities is both haunting and fascinating.

Told softly and without urgency, this episode is designed to help you relax, unwind, and drift off to sleep while quietly learning about history.
