    Lost Roman Heroes - Introducing the History of Egypt Podcast (Bonus Episode!)
    Apr 12 2026
    Lost Roman Heroes is proud to share something very special this week from our friends at the History of Egypt Podcast, which uses ancient texts, art, and archaeology to bring the world of the Nile Valley to life. Written by a trained Egyptologist, the show explores 3000+ years of history, going behind the scenes, far deeper than any documentary or book, to bring you tales of the ancient Egyptians in-their-own-words. You’ll meet characters like Narmer the unifier; Imhotep, the wise governor worshipped as a god of medicine; Hatshepsut the bold, who ruled as a female King; Akhenaten the heretic, who upset the established order, overturning centuries of tradition; Ramesses II, ultimate symbol of pharaonic splendor; Alexander the Great, the first Macedonian pharaoh; and Cleopatra VII, the doomed heir to three millennia of power. Whether you’re interested in pharaohs or gods, monuments or home life, or simply want to journey through some of humanity’s oldest tales, the History of Egypt Podcast has a story to share. You can find the show on all podcasting apps, and on YouTube.

If it were not for Gregory's histories, this period after the Western Empire had collapsed would be lost to time. But Gregory preserves a remarkable age for us, and paints technicolor portraits of a violent age in which threads of Rome can still be discerned in the lengthening shadows.

    Lost Roman Heroes - Episode 91: Tiberius II
    Mar 15 2026
    Tiberius was a handsome young man, born into a humble Thracian family in post-plague Rome. He enters the civil service as a notarius, and quickly rises to the very top of the Roman world, from Count of the Excubitors, to Magister Militum Praesentalis, to Caesar, and finally to Emperor where he takes over from crazed Justin II. In his reign he reminds Rome that there is hope, distributing imperial largesse, forgiving debts, and struggling to stabilize the impossible frontiers Justinian had created. Just when Rome started to feel like Rome again, he dies young, the victim of poisoning, accidental, or deliberate? With his death, the death of the ancient world feels that much closer...
