History Podcast, we explore a very unlikely - yet highly revealing - aspect of Roman society, satire. Specifically by exploring one of Rome's most infamous satirists... Juvenal! For the second segment, Paul breaks down in full exactly how the hell we ended up with the historical concept of the "Five Good Emperors." If you enjoyed our previous episode's interview with Sam Aranow, it would be very difficult to consider the acts of Hadrian as "good." So, what gives? We have the very answer for you!

Have you ever wondered about all the history we’ve missed? The amazing figures that are seemingly forgotten, incredible events passed over, or what a picture of true world history actually looks like? Or how history played out in the eyes of those who lived it and made it? The A.D. History Podcast explores the last two thousand years of world history, in an innovative new way. Join hosts Paul K. DiCostanzo and Patrick Foote as they examine the past two millennia, beginning in 1 AD, progressing forward ten years every episode until they reach the modern day. Within each ten-year installment, Paul and Patrick aim to share incredibly important, but often overlooked historic events and figures from around the world in prospective fashion; trying to see history through the eyes and in the world of those who lived it. By identifying these sometimes lesser known, but in no way less significant aspects of history, A.D. History seeks to identify the many disparate threads that weave the fuller, richer tapestry of history from around the world.
