Patrick Wyman, host of the new Past Lives podcast, joins us to talk about the one ancient civilisational collapse we haven’t talked about in depth: the western Roman Empire. What does it mean to live in collapse? How is it hidden by things like the price mechanism in ways it couldn’t hide in an agrarian empire? What would a potter have experienced in Britain in 350 AD? All this and more!
