We are heading back to the time when years only contained 3 digits to talk about a Roman who wanted nothing more than to expand his empire. Septimius Severus was, in many ways, exactly what you would expect a Roman Emperor to be; a charismatic, tactically astute strongman, who enforced his right to rule at the point of a sword. But then everyone thinks they are tough until they try to invade Scotland... Guest Host: Ollie Green* *Special bonus feature!!! A Scottish dialect based quiz!!! <hr> Hosted on Acast.

Septimius Severus - Ruling with an iron fist from North Africa to North Lanarkshire

The British Isles have thousands of years of history, so it's weird that all most people were taught at school was World War Two, how many wives Henry VIII had and that the Battle of Hastings took place in 1066 (always worth a try if you are trying to guess someones pin number). If you've always wanted to learn about all the bits between these events, but only if it can be done in a random and eclectic manner why not try Consistently Eccentric History? A podcast where each week you can listen in while I tell one of my friends a story about a lesser known person or event in British history, the weirder and less believable the better. With an archive of over 150 episodes you will never again be short a weird historical fact when trying to impress others.<hr> Hosted on Acast.
