The Doctors return, dear listeners, with a special episode on the historian Dionysius of Halicarnassus!

We've been considering the history of Rome from the founding of the city and after some epic conflicts and battles around Rome, it seems time to consider in more detail our sources. Dr Greenfield has been reading the Antiquitates Romanae ‘The Roman History' of Dionysius of Halicarnassus. In this episode, Doctors G and R consider our source material in a little more detail.
