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 38 – Tullus Hostilius Nov 02, 2014
    Show notes

    The Doctors return to the verbal fray with an examination of the reign, times, and doings of Tullus Hostilius. Who? You may very well ask!

    No where near as famous as his predecessors, Tullus Hostilius is a significant figure if you follow the Roman historiographical tradition. And yes, he was a king of Rome.

    There is violence, controversy, and a tale of two sets of triplets. Let the Doctors R and G take you on a tour.

    Episode 37 – Numa Pompilius Oct 20, 2014
    Show notes

    Numa Pompilius is to laws as Romulus and Remus are to violence.

    Following in the wake of the violent founding of Rome, a king is chosen for his steady character, disinterest in being a leader, and Sabine heritage.

    Let the Doctors take you in the rule of Numa Pompilius, the second monarch recognised from the founding of the city, who secured the favour of the divine Egeria.

    Episode 36 – Romulus and Remus Oct 06, 2014
    Show notes

    The Doctors return with a new mission! The history of Rome from the founding of the city. Many illustrious Latin historians have paved the way with this bold genre, so the doctors are following in the footsteps of giants. On the plus side, this means a foray into those enigmatic brothers, Romulus and Remus.

    It’s a founding mixed with parts teenage rebellion, revenge, and violence; it’s the beginning of Rome.
