    The Partial Historians

    Join Dr Rad and Dr G as we discuss, spar, and laugh our way through different aspects of the ancient Roman world! Our main series ‘From the Foundation of the City’ follows Roman history year by year from the traditional foundation date of 753 BCE. We also interview academics and specialists from around the globe for their insights into history and the representation of Rome and the ancient Mediterranean in popular culture. Dr Fiona Radford is an expert on Rome on film and wrote her thesis on Kubrick’s Spartacus. Dr Radford is exponent of not only Ancient History, but also Reception Studies. Dr Peta Greenfield is an expert on the Vestal Virgins. Dr Greenfield’s research interests include: religion and politics in Rome, the late republic and Augustan period, and the role of women.

    Episode 71 – Proculus Verginius and Spurius Cassius Jun 04, 2017
    Show notes

    A birth of a republic seems midwived by a lot of local conflict.

    In this episode, the Doctors return to explore Rome’s continued struggles with her most estimable neighbours, the Volscians, the Hernicans, and the Aequians. The intricacies really start to come to the surface in the consulship of Proculus Verginius and Spurius Cassius.

    Hear it all here!

    Episode 70 – The Volscians, The Aequians, and The Hernicians Apr 25, 2017
    Show notes

    The Doctors are back! And celebrating reaching our seventieth episode no less! We dive right back into the narrative of Rome’s history from the founding of the City with an examination of the years just following the death of Coriolanus.

    Rome, perhaps unsurprisingly, doesn’t really know how to get along with her neighbours…

    Episode 69 – The Reception of Coriolanus Mar 20, 2017
    Show notes

    It’s time for a special episode!

    After such a tumultuous life, it comes as no surprise that Coriolanus goes on to have a legacy that spreads after his literal death. So Coriolanus dies, but he lives!

    In this episode, the Doctors turn their roving eye on how the story of Coriolanus has been transformed by his reappearance into the cultural mind of the West through Shakespeare’s play and the centuries that follow.

    Find out all the details below:

    After much ado, many conflicts, we’re finally here! It is the end of Coriolanus. How does his grisly end unfold? Who will be pivotal to the end of his career?

    In this episode, Drs R and G push through all the barriers to make sure this part of Roman history comes to a close! Check out the link below to tune in:

    Show notes

    It’s a new year and a new breath of fresh on the Partial Historian breeze! Oh wait, what’s that? Could it be … Coriolanus? Indeed it is!

    The complexities of Coriolanus’ narrative continue to build and things are about to get a little bit hairy for our man of the moment. Join Drs R and G for the ride ahead:

    Episode 66 – Dr G does Italy Dec 18, 2016
    Show notes

    The holiday season is nearly upon us, dear Listeners, and what better way to celebrate than to take a little trip to Italy.

    In this short and sweet episode, Dr Radness asks Dr G the big question of the year – how was *that* trip to Italy? Part tavelogue, part history, all Partial Historian 🙂

    Episode 65 – Coriolanus: Trial Imminent! Nov 21, 2016
    Show notes

    Doctors G and R return with a brand new episode from the realms of the ancient past! As the suspense develops in Coriolanus’ career, how are the relationships between the patricians and plebeians working out? With the new force of the tribune of the plebs to reckon with, Coriolanus is not a happy patrician.

    Let’s take a look at the different narrative on offer from the primary sources – Livy, Plutarch, and Dionysius of Halicarnassus:

    Episode 64 – Coriolanus, Ultimate Patrician Oct 17, 2016
    Show notes

    Dr G has returned from Italy and to Dr R and that means, dear Listeners, that the history of Rome from the founding of the city is back on! When we last conversed, Coriolanus loomed large on the agenda, and here he takes centre stage again (as he very well may for a few more episodes!).

    Ever wondered what a real patrician’s patrician looked like? Wait no more! Listen below to catch all the scintillating details:

    Episode 63 – Aediles, Fetiales, and Coriolanus Aug 26, 2016
    Show notes

    The Doctors pursue the different elements coming to the fore in the 490s BCE by looking at a little more detail at the development of the position of aedile, and the significance of the fetiale priests in matters relating to war, peace, and oaths.

    And no episode looking at this period would be complete without more on the developing career of Coriolanus!
