Korea Stands Up to Cao Wei & Who Exactly Were the Sassanids? | 241AD-250AD

In our newest installation of A.D. History, we take our first look at the Korean Peninsula during antiquity. Specifically with one of it's own Three Kingdoms kicking up the dust against the standout of all of China's Three Kingdoms - Cao Wei. For our second segment, Paul takes a foray into exactly who the Sassanid Persians were. As a power that will exist for the next four centuries during our show, it is well due to better understand who they were, how they operated, and how they lived. While it is not easy for modern scholars to answer these very specific questions, we take our best stab to get under the surface of their civilization...** DONATE TO A.D.

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.
