Dr. Aaron Irvin, an Ancient History professor at Murray State University, joins Lexie to talk about how his deployment to Iraq right after 9/11 changed his perception of history and shaped his career, his experience consulting for Spartacus & Netflix’s Roman Empire, and whether we should try disregarding historical accuracy in media.
