TheHistoryOf Adrianople

In this episode unlike any other, I go more into 'historian mode' than you've ever seen before. I spend 50 minutes trying to answer the question of whether Adrianople was a significant battle. http://archive.org/download/Thehistoryof-TheSignificanceOfAdrianople/Adrianople.mp3

London Meetup Details

Hey guys, I'll just make this post so you know the exact details for the meetup.

It will be at 4PM, Saturday 8th June 2013 at the George Inn, 75-7 Borough, High Street, London, SE1 1NH. http://gkpubs.co.uk/pubs-in-london/the-george-inn-pub/

Hannie and I shouldn't be that hard to miss, I'll be wearing a bright red 'Keep Calm and Raise More Legions' shirt for one, but I'll stick some photos up before the due date so can spot us. Either that, or just eavesdrop until you hear people talk about Roman history, that'll probably be us. I'll be tweeting and instagramming throughout the day from London, so subscribing there won't be a bad idea. I'll let you know when I'm at the Inn and whatnot. http://twitter.com/thehistoryofpod http://instagram.com/jamieredfern

Hope to see you there!

A History Of: Hannibal. Episode 40 - 24601

This week we have a second episode title which is numbers, anyone able to work out what this is a reference to? This week we deal with the hostages captured by Hannibal, and I go over why Hannie's opinions on Rome's attitude towards these hostages from episode 35 are spot on. http://archive.org/download/AHistoryOfHannibal.Episode40-24601/Episode40.mp3
