This episode details the first engagements between Hannibal and the Romans. The battles of Ticinus and the Trebia were the first real engagements between the two combatants and showcasedHannibal’s prowess and generalship. That Gauls do feature in this episode but they are treated as unreliable at best. The end of this episode is a small announcement for the future of the podcast. A full episode on the future of this show will come out soon.

This episode is a long conversation I have been meaning to record and get out to you for a while but due to scheduling conflicts it has been pretty hard for Dr. Ian Stewart and I to meet up. In our interview we discuss some of the content of his new book The Celts: A Modern History which outlines the rise of Celtic nationalism and ideas associated with it in the 1800s. We also discuss some more modern feelings towards the Celts. Get his new book in the link below.

Today’s episode is a rather impromptu episode I got the inspiration to do early in the morning. If this episode does not release on St. Patrick’s Day for you, I apologize I should have thought of this sooner. Today’s episode will briefly detail the life of St. Patrick. With much left out for a later episode I hope today’s episode will shed some light on who St. Patrick was as a person and give you a deeper understanding and appreciation for the celebration of St. Patrick. Happy St. Patrick’s Day, stay safe and have fun!

This episode begins the series on the Second Punic War. After a re-cap of the interim period between the First and Second Punic Wars, I discuss the beginning of one of the Ancient World’s most famous generals, Hannibal. Following Hannibal’s rise to power in the 3rd Century BC, the Carthaginian general executed one of the things that has made him one of the most famous generals of all time, his crossing of the Alps into Italy. Within this narrative is a discussion of how our friends, the Celts, are involved in this conflict. Listen now if you want to learn more!

This episode I discuss the interwar period between the First and Second Punic Wars which I have dubbed the Inter Bellum Punica. This episode will serve as a precursor to next episode where I discuss the Second Punic War, also known as the Hannibalic War in our sources. The first part will be on Carthage’s expansion into Spain while the second part will be on Rome’s wars with the Celts in Italy.

This episode I discuss the Celts and their involvement as mercenaries in the wars of the Mediterranean. I go over how the Celts fought with the Ptolemaic Pharaohs of Egypt and their eventual rebellion and suicide in the Nile. Celtic Mercenaries were also involved with the fighting between the Romans and Carthaginians in the First Punic War. I detail the rise of Carthage as well as their war with the Romans. One Celtic man named Autaritas, a mercenary under the employ of Carthage, rebelled along with other mercenaries because of a lack of pay. Join me in this episode to hear more about this
