Epic Roman Defeats

In August's exclusive subscriber-only episode we’re getting into formation and marching across four of the most epic Roman battles. As much as the Roman Empire enjoyed the perception that its army was undefeatable, there were many times its legions were crushed and thousands slaughtered. We are revisiting these grand losses, rubbing shoulders with Octavian and Mark Anthony in Italy, witnessing the horror of the avoidable carnage at the Battle of Carrhae, hurling ourselves against the formidable Hannibal and steadying our nerves facing down the Celtic warrior queen Boudica in Colchester. Presented by Tristan Hughes. Edited by Aidan Lonergan. The producer is Joseph Knight, the senior producer is Anne-Marie Luff. The Ancients is a History Hit podcast.
