  • Lost Roman Heroes - Episode 71: Aegidius & Syagrius
    2025/06/08

    Aegidius and Syagrius, father and son warriors, born of an ancient Roman-Gaul senatorial lineage, would keep the dream of Rome alive in Gaul long after the Western Empire fell. In the baddest of bad neighborhoods, for three decades they reminded the world what Rome stood for, with no help from an emperor in Ravenna or Constantinople. It wasn't about fame for these two, it was about principle! Prepare to be blown away....

  • Lost Roman Heroes - Episode 69: Honorable Mentions (Part I)
    2025/05/11

    Lost Roman Heroes get their own episode, true, but as Season 2 draws to close we admit that we made some mistakes. We missed some guys, sad but true, and some genuinely heroic characters had the great misfortune of not appearing in the historical record. It's OK, these are our misfits, the extra-lost, Lost Roman Heroes, that we believe deserve an HONORABLE MENTION (PART 1). Tune in and meet Gnaeus Domitius Corbulo (Nero's nemesis), Avidius Cassius (Marcus Aurelius almost-successor), Gratian (Valentinian's super capable son, boy-emperor), Quintus Aurelius Symmachus (the last gentleman-pagan), and Timasius (Timmy-tim-tim, Theodosius' general and friend).

  • Lost Roman Heroes - Episode 67: Majorian (Part 2)
    2025/04/13

    Having inherited a bankrupt Western Empire, with no treasury, no army, no popular support, and no civitas, Majorian sets about achieving the impossible, knitting the West back together again. Never before has a Western Emperor started in such dire straits, with such ambitious objectives, and with such exceptional talents. We cannot help but wish him the very best (as we shed a tear for him, and Rome)...

    Aetius maneuvers himself to the top of the power structure in the West, only to be brought low by Galla Placidia and loyal Bonfatius.

  • Lost Roman Heroes - Episode 64: Aetius (Part 1)
    2025/03/02

    This is the man that even contemporaries referred to as THE LAST ROMAN. Only son of General Gaudentius, born in Durostorum, a frontier fortress on the Danube, Aetius, he wound up in the West after his father fought under Emperor Theodosius at the Frigidus. From there he found himself on a fast track that would send him as a hostage to Alaric and the Goths, and from there to Uldin and the Huns where he would grow up amongst Rome's most fearsome enemies. When he was released by the Huns in his early 30's and returned to Ravenna, there was no man that had the knowledge of those enemies like Aetius, something that the Empress, Galla Placidia, knew all too well, as did his enemies at court...
