<p>Hello everyone,</p><br /><p>Here are 3 podcast-related things you may be interested in.</p><br /><p><strong>Roman Graphic Novel</strong></p><p>Friend of the show Marco Capelli has made a comic book set in 6th century Italy. It follows two figures that we know about from an Ostrogothic jewellery collection that was discovered in 1938. A Roman Patrician Stephanus who marries a Gothic noblewoman Valatrud. They are subjects of King Theodoric who is trying to create a functioning Gothic-Roman kingdom in Italy. But their union comes shortly before Italy submerges into chaos. And Justinian sends Belisarius out to retake the home peninsula.</p><p>You can get your hands on a copy in English or Italian. In paper or in a digital format.
