About this listen

 Every week I give a little history lesson about stuff you might not know about. I try to keep the episodes 10 minutes or less, and I try my best to add a little humor to the episodes as well!Matt Roberts World

    E39 - Herculaneum, Victim Of Vesuvius
    Oct 17 2025

    Mount Vesuvius claimed a few cities when it erupted in 79 CE, none more famous than the ancient city of Pompeii! But this episode isn't about that, it's about another, more well preserved ancient city, Herculaneum! Kinda sounds like a super strong metal in the Marvel Universe.
