Paths Through History

Von: Ian Murphy
Jetzt kostenlos hören, ohne Abo

Every place has a story. In each season of this podcast, we journey to a place and explore it from two perspectives: the traveler and the historian. We begin in the present day, walking its paths, visiting its landmarks, and experiencing its culture. Then, we travel through time. Across the season, each episode examines a key chapter in the history of that place; we trace the path through centuries of triumph, tragedy, conflict, and change that shaped our world. If you love history, travel, and the stories of how places evolve over time, this is the podcast for you.Ian Murphy Welt

Together with the formidable Empress Theodora and the brilliant general Belisarius, he came closer than almost anyone in history to rebuilding a lost golden age. Yet his greatest legacy may not have been the territories he conquered, but the laws and ideas that still shape our world today.
