Στο 6ο επεισόδιο η αφήγηση συνεχίζεται με ένα one man show. O Iουλιανός έρχεται να ταράξει το οικοδόμημα της Κωνσταντίνειας δυναστείας και να αλλάξει τα πάντα στο πέρασμα του. Ήταν ένας ιδεολόγος που εντόπισε πως η αυτοκρατορία είχε πάρει λάθος δρόμο και έπρεπε να επιστρέψει στο ένδοξο παρελθόν; Ήταν ένας άνθρωπος που δεν είχε καμία επαφή με την πραγματικότητα της εποχής του; Δύσκολα ερωτήματα και τα δύο. Οι πρώτες κινήσεις του Ιουλιανού με το που φτάνει στην Κωνσταντινούπολη Το πολιτικό του όραμα για μια αποκεντρωμένη διοίκηση Η θρησκευτική του πολιτική και η επαναφορά της αρχαίας θρησκείας Η απότομη προσγείωση στην πραγματικότητα.

<p>By 281 BC, Rome controlled much of Italy, but the city was still a minor player on the larger Mediterranean scene. That changed when King Pyrrhus of Epirus crossed the Adriatic with a powerful army of Macedonian pikemen and war elephants, setting in motion the toughest war the Romans had ever fought.</p><p>Patrick's book is now available!

It’s a storied island with a rich saga tradition. A land of ice and fire. But rarely do we hear of how Iceland went from being a stouthearted farming settlement to one of the most respected nations on Earth. This week, Danièle speaks with Sverrir Jakobsson about what life in Iceland was like in the early Middle Ages, how it became linked to the kingdom of Norway, and how Iceland’s interactions with Europe changed after the Black Death. <br /><br />You can support this podcast on Patreon - <a href="https://www.patreon.com/medievalists" rel="noreferrer noopener" target="_blank"><b>https://www.patreon.com/medievalists</b></a><br /><br />This podcast is made possible by the generous support of listeners like you!

A conversation with Paul Magdalino (St. Andrews and Koç University) about the literary traditions and genres that Constantinopolitans developed to talk about the origins, history, cosmic importance, and superlative beauty of their city -- the City. The conversation touches on themes in Paul's recent book, Roman Constantinople in Byzantine Perspective: The Memorial and Aesthetic Rediscovery of Constantine's Beautiful City, from Late Antiquity to the Renaissance (Brill 2024). Like the book, our discussion culminates with the majestic oration Byzantios by Theodoros Metochites.
<p>While the Punic Wars mark the stage of Roman history with which most people are familiar, Rome's entrance onto the stage of Mediterranean power politics actually came a decade earlier, with a bloody, grinding war against the Hellenistic king Pyrrhus of Epirus.</p><p>Patrick's book is now available!
