LOST ROMAN HEROES

Lost Roman Heroes - Episode 12: Aemilianus

Adopted grandson of Scipio Africanus, and grandson of Consul Paulus (of Cannae fame) - setup well at birth.  Loved by the Senate, sent to Africa for the third installment of the Punic Wars.  Successful in war and peace, Carthage didn't stand a chance.  What is that music we hear building in the background, is that the Imperial March???

Lost Roman Heroes - Episode 11: Scipio Africanus (Part 2)

The grand clash of Titans between Scipio and Hannibal, Roman and Carthage, that would determine supremacy of the Mediterranean.  Scipio shows his quality on and off the battlefield, and perhaps the old generals find peace after war.

Lost Roman Heroes - Episod 10: Scipio Africanus (Part 1)

SCIPIO AFRICANUS!  History remembers his nemesis, Hannibal, as the GOAT.  Why do they not remember this humble young man who watched his father fall in battle, and after learning from his mortal enemies, while most of Rome cowered behind the walls, took the fight to Carthage?  In Part 1 of this special 2 part series on Scipio, he steps onto the stage and ejects Carthage from Spain, setting up the final showdown with Hannibal (coming in Part 2).

Lost Roman Heroes - Episode 9: Fabius

Cunctator, 'the Delayer', was a tricky character.  Hannibal's original Roman nemesis, with a big wart on his upper lip, he did the Republic a grand service, before turning cranky in the end and opposing Scipio.  This might be our biggest challenge yet.

Lost Roman Heroes - Episode 8: Regulus

A plebeian Consul, led the new Roman navy in the largest navy battle of history against Carthage in the First Punic War.  But more important to his story was what he did off the battlefield.  Perhaps the most remarkable story of self-sacrifice in history.  Regulus, we salute you!

Lost Roman Heroes - Episode 7: Corvus

The Raven.  Won wars without drawing a sword, loved by Patricians and Plebs, and lived to be 100 years old.  Why have we not heard of him before?  This man just might be what this podcast is all about.

Lost Roman Heroes - Episode 5: Cincinnatus

Cincinnatus, the Curly Haired, general, farmer, and exceptionally self-restrained guardian of the Republic who inspired George W. and WKRP in Cincinnati?

Lost Roman Heroes - Episode 4: Lucius Junius Brutus
