Forget conquering Gaul! Julius Caesar, fueled by ambition and fear of the mythical Oceanus, sets sail across uncharted waters to tame the wild warriors of Britain. His landing turns chaotic as chariots clash with Roman swords on blood-soaked beaches. But fear gives way to discipline, and the empire’s ironclad legions crush the blue-painted defenders. Peace treaties crumble like painted shields, while Caesar, king of a single epic battle, dreams of Britannia kneeling before his might. Will this taste of victory quench his thirst for conquest, or is this just the first spark in a fire that will consume the isle? Tune in and prepare to be captivated by the clash of civilizations in the dawn of British history!
Hello Jamie!
Thanks for your podcast!
I’ve gotten interested in British history only recently. I thought that I should start with listening some podcast about it to get started and yours is just perfect for it.
I have a question: what is the song you use in the podcasts? I am sorry if you’ve been asked this question before.
It’s a free song on the creative commons called Northbound. :)
Fish and chips is nice, so I can understand his reasoning!
great podcast, informative with enough emphasis, humanity, and points of interest to hold attention. love it. especially liked the episode that covered origins of holidays and the old pagan beliefs
The file seems to have been deleted, and it’s not appearing on iTunes, either… is there any way I can find it?
It should be working now. Sorry about that :)
Thank you for this series, just started but really looking forward to working through it. Suddenly my brain is retaining the facts, it must be be the way you tell it.
I’m so glad you’re enjoying it! :)
Hi Jamie,found your podcast on f/book and I love it,what a great idea congratulations,what an enormous amount of work you’ve got in store. I’m a big history fan and I can’t understand why everybody isn’t because history is happening every day isn’t it?
Possibly–“First evidence for Julius Caesar’s invasion of Britain discovered,” Nov 28, 2017. Also discusses possibility that Claudius’s invasion made easier because alliances had been formed with British kings.
