Summary

I speak to Rob and Jamie from the podcast Totalus Rankium. Their show is a light hearted ranking of every Roman Emperor from Augustus to Constantine XI. It's a really fun listen and they include all the amusing stories which I edited out of Byzantine history.

They have a sister show where they rank American Presidents. Find both shows here.

Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

1:30.0	For those of you who don't know, their podcast is a light-hearted ranking of all Roman
