A TUTTA C con Claudia Marrone. Ospite: Alfonso Selleri, ex Ravenna
Immaginate la scena: il re longobardo siede sul trono durante il banchetto, nel salone. I suoi guerrieri sono tutti lì con lui a mangiare e pure la moglie, la regina. Il sovrano prende una strana coppa piena di vino, che sgronda liquido color rubino, e la porge alla moglie. Non è una coppa di metallo, ma d'osso. Si tratta di un teschio umano. La regina inorridisce. La sola vista di quell'oggetto orribile la fa star male. Ma il crudele re le ordina di bere, e lei è costretta a farlo. Il disgusto, però, lascia subito il posto alla rabbia. La regina è furiosa, dentro di sé giura vendetta. Perché quello non è un teschio qualunque: quello è il teschio di suo padre.Questa, signore e signori masnadieri, è la storia di Alboino e di Rosmunda.
From Ravenna to New York, the visionary entrepreneur reflects on innovation, identity, and the art of sustainable style. Visionary entrepreneur Federico Marchetti shares his remarkable journey from the quiet streets of Ravenna to the vibrant world of New York City. As we chat, he offers a vivid window into the Feast of All Feasts in Little Italy, drawing playful contrasts with his hometown celebrations and humorously imagining a fusion of this street festival with New York Fashion Week. His story captures the search for belonging across cities—rooted in his formative years at Columbia Business School and his entrepreneurial triumphs in Milan, where he first married online technology with high fashion. Federico recounts the challenges and innovations that defined his path at the intersection of fashion and technology. He pioneered Italian e-commerce, overcoming logistical hurdles while bringing Italian elegance into the digital age. His insights reveal a delicate balance between creativity and machine efficiency, as he champions the integration of AI with traditional craftsmanship to promote sustainability and preserve the longevity of luxury fashion. Beyond business success—including the sale of his company for billions—Federico now devotes himself to initiatives that blend purpose with progress. His commitment to what he calls philanthropic industrialism reflects a desire to use innovation for good. Inspired by Giorgio Armani's harmony of creativity and discipline, Federico continues to shape the dialogue between culture, technology, and responsibility. This conversation celebrates fashion, vision, and the enduring pursuit of meaningful creation in a rapidly changing world.

Send us a textWe all hit seasons where life feels like it is drying up emotionally, spiritually, or practically. Sometimes long before we understand why. In this opening message of our "Empty Jars" series, we step into Elijah's story before the mountaintop victory, before the miracle, before the fire... to the quiet and hidden place where God teaches him to trust.This is a message for anyone walking through uncertainty, waiting for answers, or carrying a weight they cannot fully explain. Elijah did not pray for the ravens; he simply discovered a provision God had already set in motion. The same God who worked ahead for him is already working ahead for you.If you have ever wondered where God is in the dry seasons... if you have ever felt empty long before you felt hopeful... this episode will remind you that heaven has already moved on your behalf, even if you cannot see it yet.Because when life feels empty... the ravens are already flying.Other messages in this series:Before the JarThe Jar that Never Runs Out (October 26, 2025)Beyond the Jar (November 2, 2025)*(When sermon is being preached live at Ravenna Church of the Nazarene)Linkoln shares his story on why he started coming to Ravenna Church of the Nazarene and shares why you should consider doing the same.Ravenna Church of the Nazarene530 Main Street, Ravenna, KY 40472Support the showThe Dirt Path Sermon Podcast is a place for real sermons that speak to real life.

“Federico has made it alone, imagining much and working more, arriving from Ravenna, where he was born, to become part of King Charles III's task force.… Those who want to break the mold have to take risks, swim against the tide, walk untrodden paths.”—Giorgio Armani, from the foreword to The Geek of Chic. At the start of the 21st century, shopping online was still a futuristic fantasy. There was no Facebook, there were no iPhones. And yet, in the spring of 2000, Federico Marchetti invented one of the world's first platforms for online sales—and started a company that would revolutionize the luxury fashion sector. In THE GEEK OF CHIC: An American Dream, Italian Style (Post Hill Press; September 9, 2025; ISBN: 9798895650608; $18.99; 288 pages; Original Trade Paperback), international fashion business and tech icon Federico Marchetti, (with a foreword by Giorgio Armani), shares his engaging, honest and passionate memoir that reveals how he morphed from a geeky kid in the sleepy seaside town of Ravenna, Italy to a pioneer in online retail, offering practical advice for entrepreneurs and inspiration for visionaries and big dreamers. The Geek of Chic explains the present and future of Marchetti's life, including working on His Majesty King Charles III's service as Chair of The Sustainable Markets Initiative's Fashion Task Force, which includes brands such as Chloé, Armani, Burberry, Cucinelli, Stella McCartney, and Prada. In a sector known for individualism, Marchetti is uniting global luxury groups around a common goal of shifting towards a circular industry that is climate-conscious and nature-positive. The King of England now considers Marchetti his consigliere on matters of regenerative fashion and digital innovation, collaborating on several initiatives and projects. Unfolding against a backdrop of famed vistas—Milan, Lake Como, Venice, England's Royal Palace, New York City, Shanghai, Tokyo, and Dubai—and featuring encounters with notables from Bill Gates and Jeff Bezos to Giorgio Armani and Anna Wintour, The Geek of Chic's message is relevant to a new generation of entrepreneurs who wish to combine innovation, business acumen, and AI with humanism, creativity and empathy: how to achieve the American dream in an Italian way.

Maria Vittoria Baravelli"I discorsi belli. Custodire, ricordare, curare"Kum! Festivalwww.kumfestival.itKum! Festival, PesaroSabato 18 ottobre 2025, ore 14:30I discorsi belli. Custodire, ricordare, curare.Maria Vittoria BaravelliPlatone fa dire a Socrate che l'anima si cura con incantesimi, e questi incantesimi sono i discorsi belli. Curare significa avere a cuore; ricordare, da re-cordis, significa ripassare dalle parti del cuore. L'arte, come i discorsi belli, fa entrambe le cose: custodisce la memoria e ci rimette al mondo. Dalla follia di Van Gogh all'universo di Kusama, dalle ninfee di Monet alle ferite di Louise Bourgeois, la storia dell'arte mostra come ogni ferita possa farsi visione e ogni dolore balsamo.Maria Vittoria Baravelli"Il mondo non merita la fine del mondo"Storie, arti e altri incantiElectawww.electa.itLe opere d'arte sono così. Ci chiamano a sé, vogliono rubare la nostra attenzione, come sirene che cantano, ammaliano e ci confondono. Finché esisterà l'arte, come incanto, memoria, bellezza e richiamo all'infinito, il mondo non merita di finire. Maria Vittoria Baravelli ci accompagna attraverso un personale atlante di bellezza che spazia dall'antichità al contemporaneo, dal cinema, alla fotografia, alle installazioni, con accostamenti inediti e paralleli inaspettati. L'arte richiede presenza: la prima vera regola, imperturbabile al tempo e ai cambiamenti, è che l'espressione artistica deve essere sperimentata dal vivo, nei musei, alle mostre. Accanto all'energia e alla possibilità di fruizione che le nuove tecnologie ci mettono a disposizione, l'autrice resta fermamente convinta del valore dell'arte incontrata di persona, che ci entra dentro e non ci abbandona più. Questo libro è un viaggio nella vita di capolavori che non finiscono mai di parlarci, alla scoperta di cosa ci colpisce davvero quando contempliamo un'opera d'arte e questa sembra avvicinarci ai suoi segreti. Come diceva Umberto Eco, leggendo un libro, così come osservando un'opera, si innesca una sorta di "immortalità all'indietro". Per un attimo ci è concesso di guardare direttamente negli occhi il passato, incrociare lo sguardo dell'artista e perderci nella nostalgia di epoche che non sono la nostra.Maria Vittoria Baravelli è curatrice d'arte e fotografia, autrice Rizzoli de Il mondo non merita la fine del mondo. Insegna " Moda e Arte all'Accademia della Moda e del Costume (Milano), scrive per Domani e Il Giornale dell'Arte. È nel CdA del MAR di Ravenna e nel board curatoriale di Art D'Egypte, società che realizza installazioni di arte contemporanea nel deserto, in dialogo con le piramidi di Giza e Luxor.Diventa un supporter di questo podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/il-posto-delle-parole--1487855/support.IL POSTO DELLE PAROLEascoltare fa pensarehttps://ilpostodelleparole.it/

Will we ever see them again?In this message, we walk through 1 Thessalonians 4:13-18, a passage often used to scare people about the end times, but originally written as a word of comfort to a grieving church.This sermon explores why the return of Jesus is not a threat to dread, but a hope to hold. A promise that death is not the end of the story and that love will one day be restored in the presence of Christ.Whether you are walking through loss right now or simply need a reminder that God is not finished with your story, this message will help you breathe again, believe again, and rest in the hope of the resurrection.Linkoln shares his story on why he started coming to Ravenna Church of the Nazarene and shares why you should consider doing the same.Ravenna Church of the Nazarene530 Main Street, Ravenna, KY 40472Support the showThe Dirt Path Sermon Podcast is a place for real sermons that speak to real life.

But when the nation finally bowed low before God, mercy moved, and wrath turned to grace.This message from 2 Chronicles 12:1-12 explores how pride can quietly pull us away from God, how humility opens the door to restoration, and why the way up in God's kingdom is always down.If you have ever tried to stand tall through your own strength and found yourself worn out instead, this message is for you.

Italský přístav Ravenna minulý týden odmítl vpustit dva kamiony, které podle úřadů převážely zbraně pro Izrael. Starosta Alessandro Barattoni v prohlášení uvedl, že zvlášť poté, co Itálie zastavila prodej zbraní Izraeli je nepřijatelné, aby kvůli byrokratickým mezerám tyto zbraně mohly procházet Itálií z jiných zemí. A tou má být podle serveru Il Post Česko. Přestože to nepotvrdil ani starosta Ravenny ani české ministerstvo zahraničí, faktem je, že zatímco přibývá zemí, které zavádějí embargo na vývoz zbraní do Izraele, kromě Itálie například Španělsko, Česko jejich export zvyšuje. „Máme data o loňském roce, kdy Česko do Izraele vyvezlo vojenský materiál v hodnotě více než 1,2 miliard korun. Oproti roku 2022 je to skoro dvojnásobek," říká ve Výtahu Respektu Magdaléna Fajtová. Má Česká republika informace o tom, jak jsou její zbraně v Izraeli využívány? Rozhoduje o vývozu stát nebo přímo zbrojovky? A porušuje Česko něco vývozem zbraní do Izraele? Nejen to se dozvíte ve středečním zpravodajském podcastu.

Was passierte heute auf den Tag genau vor soundsoviel Jahren – dieses Spiel spielen wir mit Euch seit über fünfeinhalb Jahren und fast 2000 Episoden. Erfunden haben wir das natürlich nicht, vielmehr haben auch schon die Zeitungen, die wir durchforsten, solche Rückblicke getätigt und dabei nur gelegentlich andere Zeitintervalle und Formate gewählt als wir. Der Hamburgische Correspondent beschäftigte sich am 31. August 1925 – also, Überraschung, heute vor auf den Tag genau einhundert Jahren – mit ausgewählten und überraschenderweise zumeist dezimal unspezifischen Jahrestagen der angelaufenen Woche. Einen Auszug daraus verliest für uns, auf den Tag genau einhundert Jahre später, Frank Riede.

Send us a textIn the finale of our "Love Thy Neighbor" series, we turn to one of the most challenging commands in all of Scripture. Leviticus 19:33-34 tells God's people to welcome the stranger, to treat the outsider not as second-class, but as family. This isn't just a call to holiness, it is covenant obedience rooted in God's own character.We explore what it means to see immigrants and outsiders the way God sees them, and how Jesus fulfills this command by welcoming us when we were strangers to grace. What does it look like for the church to live this out today? The answer may surprise you, and it might even make you uncomfortable.Join as we discover how holiness means more than private morality; it means love in action that embraces the stranger as kin.Other Episodes in this series:Leftover & Left BehindHonesty & HospitalityLove & LoyaltySin & Slavery Foreign & FriendLinkoln shares his story on why he started coming to Ravenna Church of the Nazarene and shares why you should consider doing the same.Ravenna Church of the Nazarene530 Main Street, Ravenna, KY 40472Support the showThe Dirt Path Sermon Podcast is a place for real sermons that speak to real life.

Send us a textIn part four of our Love Thy Neighbor series, we explore the bold witness of Phineas Bresee, before he ever founded the Church of the Nazarene. As a young Methodist pastor in the tense years before the Civil War, Bresee stood in a pulpit draped with the American flag and called slavery what it was: sin. To him, it wasn't about politics, it was about the gospel.This sermon challenges us to see that God's holiness is not passive. It names sin, confronts injustice, and calls us to live with integrity and compassion. From ancient laws in Leviticus to modern struggles like human trafficking, economic injustice, and exploitation, we discover that holiness isn't about staying "clean" by avoiding messy situations, it is about stepping into them with redemptive love.Join us as we ask: Where is God calling us today to stand for the vulnerable, confront systems of sin, and reflect the radical love of Jesus?Other Episodes in this series:Leftover & Left BehindHonesty & HospitalityLove & LoyaltySin & Slavery Foreign & FriendLinkoln shares his story on why he started coming to Ravenna Church of the Nazarene and shares why you should consider doing the same.Ravenna Church of the Nazarene530 Main Street, Ravenna, KY 40472Support the showThe Dirt Path Sermon Podcast is a place for real sermons that speak to real life.

Send us a textWhat does holy love really look like when it gets personal? In this message, we explore Leviticus 19:15-18, a passage that calls us to live with fairness, truth, and courage. This sermon reminds us that God's love doesn't play favorites, turn a blind eye, or hold grudges. It confronts sin and clings to righteousness.Through a powerful combination of biblical insight and real-life application, we unpack what it means to love our neighbor as ourselves--not with shallow niceness, but with deep, resilient, and justice-shaped love.Whether you're navigating strained relationships, wrestling with how to speak the truth in love, or wondering what holiness looks like in a fractured world--this episode is for you.Other Episodes in this series:Leftover & Left BehindHonesty & HospitalityLove & LoyaltySin & Slavery (coming August 11)Foreign & Friend (coming August 18)Linkoln shares his story on why he started coming to Ravenna Church of the Nazarene and shares why you should consider doing the same.Ravenna Church of the Nazarene530 Main Street, Ravenna, KY 40472Support the showThe Dirt Path Sermon Podcast is a place for real sermons that speak to real life.

A meditation preached by Fr. Eric Nicolai on July 25, 2025, the feast of St. James, at Lyncroft Centre in Toronto. Jesus called James and his brother John as they mended their nets on the Sea of Galilee. Their mother approached Jesus, asking that her sons be seated on either side of him in his kingdom. Jesus replied, “You do not know what you are asking.” Jesus turned to the brothers: “Can you drink the cup that I am going to drink?” “We can,” they declared. James was, in fact, the first apostle to share in the cup of martyrdom, under Herod Agrippa around the year 44. Saint Josemaria loved that readiness to follow Jesus, to go all the way. He underlined their response, "Possumus". We can frame this in terms of our readiness and openness to be well formed: to have the piety of children and the doctrine of theologians.Music: Michael Lee of Toronto.Thumbnail: James the Apostle, detail of the mosaic in the Basilica of San Vitale, Ravenna, 6th century.

He was a disciple of St Peter, born in Antioch. St Peter took him to Rome (he was bishop of Antioch before being bishop of Rome, so Antioch is as much the 'see of Peter' as is Rome) and made him Bishop of Ravenna. In Ravenna, he healed the wife of the military governor of a grave illness, after which the governor and his household confessed Christ and were baptized. Apollinarius was able to form a house church in the governor's home, from which he labored for the Gospel for twelve years. Eventually, he was condemned to exile in Illyria for his faith, and began a life of missionary travel in the Balkans, travelling as far as the Danube. After twelve years of this work, he was driven back to Italy by the hostility of some of the pagans. He was received with joy by the people of Ravenna, which aroused the envy of the pagan elders, who denounced him to the Emperor Vespasian. When the elders asked permission to kill Apollinarius, the Emperor only gave them permission to drive him from the city, wisely saying 'It is not seemly to take revenge on behalf of the gods, for they can themselves be revenged on their enemies if they are angered.' But, in defiance of the Imperial decree, the pagan leaders attacked and killed Apollinarius with knives. His holy relics are preserved in Ravenna, in a church dedicated to him.
24 And there was also a strife amongst them, which of them should seem to be the greater.Facta est autem et contentio inter eos, quis eorum videretur esse major. 25 And he said to them: The kings of the Gentiles lord it over them; and they that have power over them, are called beneficent.Dixit autem eis : Reges gentium dominantur eorum : et qui potestatem habent super eos, benefici vocantur. 26 But you not so: but he that is the greater among you, let him become as the younger; and he that is the leader, as he that serveth.Vos autem non sic : sed qui major est in vobis, fiat sicut minor : et qui praecessor est, sicut ministrator. 27 For which is greater, he that sitteth at table, or he that serveth? Is it not he that sitteth at table? But I am in the midst of you, as he that serveth:Nam quis major est, qui recumbit, an qui ministrat? nonne qui recumbit? Ego autem in medio vestrum sum, sicut qui ministrat : 28 And you are they who have continued with me in my temptations:vos autem estis, qui permansistis mecum in tentationibus meis. 29 And I dispose to you, as my Father hath disposed to me, a kingdom;Et ego dispono vobis sicut disposuit mihi Pater meus regnum, 30 That you may eat and drink at my table, in my kingdom: and may sit upon thrones, judging the twelve tribes of Israel.ut edatis et bibatis super mensam meam in regno meo, et sedeatis super thronos judicantes duodecim tribus Israel.St Apollinarus, a disciple of St Peter, came with the latter from Antioch to Rome. He was consecrated bishop of Ravenna and preached the Gospel of Christ amidst many persecutions, including prison and exile. The Apostle of Ravenna was beaten to death A.D. 79.

Send us a textWhat does it mean to be live honestly? To protect the vulnerable? To treat others with dignity, even when it costs us something? This message challenges us to examine the gap between claimed love and lived-out truth--and invites us to become people who speak truth and extend hospitality with courage and care.Whether you've struggled with being honest in hard moments, or you've been tempted to ignore the needs of others because of busyness or burnout, this sermon will gently confront and compassionately call you forward.We continue our Love Thy Neighbor series by looking at Leviticus 19:11-14 and rediscover how holiness is more than personal piety--it's about relational integrity and compassion in action.Other Episodes in this series:Leftover & Left BehindHonesty & HospitalityLove & Loyalty (coming July 28)Sin & Slavery (coming August 11)Foreign & Friend (coming August 18)Linkoln shares his story on why he started coming to Ravenna Church of the Nazarene and shares why you should consider doing the same.Ravenna Church of the Nazarene530 Main Street, Ravenna, KY 40472Ravenna Church of the Nazarene530 Main Street, Ravenna, KY 40472Disclaimer: This post contains affiliate links.

Have you ever walked into a bookstore, lonely and single, and hoped you’d meet the love of your life? We know there are at least a few of you out there. That's part of the setup for Moira Macdonald’s debut novel “Storybook Ending.” It’s a story about loneliness, friendship, reading – and of course, the singular pleasure of spending time between the shelves of a cozy book shop in Seattle. The spot in question, titled “Read the Room”, is based on Ravenna’s Third Place Books, one of Macdonald's regular haunts. We talk to Macdonald, the longtime Seattle Times arts critic, about writing her novel, her recommendations for great summer reads and Seattle's best movie theaters. And a note - this conversation first aired in June. Guest Moira Macdonald, Seattle Times arts critic and debut novelist See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
Send us a textThe storm had passed, but Noah didn't rush. He waited—watching, listening, trusting. When the dove didn't return, he knew: the season had changed, and it was time to move forward.In this episode, Pastor Jason explores what it means to wait on God's timing and how spiritual maturity is shown in our willingness to surrender control. Drawing from Noah's quiet obedience, this sermon challenges us to release our grip, trust the Spirit's leading, and be ready when God signals it's time to step into something new.If you're feeling stuck between storm and breakthrough, this message is for you.Linkoln shares his story on why he started coming to Ravenna Church of the Nazarene and shares why you should consider doing the same.Ravenna Church of the Nazarene530 Main Street, Ravenna, KY 40472Support the showThe Dirt Path Sermon Podcast is a place for real sermons that speak to real life.

Send us a text We say God can have it all… but what about the parts we keep hidden? In this episode, Pastor Jason explores the story of King Azariah (also known as Uzziah) and the “surrender gap” that blocked the blessing of God—not just in his life, but in his community.With honesty, humor, and hope, this message challenges us to examine the “keep out” signs in our hearts. Whether it's pride, fear, or comfort, anything we withhold from God can hinder His work in us and through us.But surrender isn't about shame—it's about healing. And when we let go, God begins to bless others through the very places we once held back.
In this episode, my son Jack joins me to examine The Consolation of Philosophy by Boethius, a Roman scholar living just after the fall of the Roman Empire in 476 CE. A renaissance man before the Renaissance, Boethius translated Greek philosophers like Aristotle and Plato, served as a trusted aide to the Gothic king Theodoric in Ravenna, and was a mathematician, astronomer, and family man whose sons became consuls in their early 20s. Despite his Christian faith, tensions with the Arian Theodoric led to his imprisonment and brutal execution at 44. This tragedy tarnished Theodoric's rule, but Boethius' legacy shaped medieval thought, preserving Greek philosophy and influencing giants like Chaucer, Dante, Aquinas, and Shakespeare.Written in a cell awaiting death, The Consolation of Philosophy is a profound dialogue between Boethius and Lady Philosophy. Divided into five books, it blends prose (prosa) and poetry (metrea), offering wisdom through a narrative arc. Book One introduces Boethius' despair; Book Two explores Fortune's fickleness; Book Three seeks the highest Good; Book Four tackles the problem of evil; and Book Five reconciles divine foreknowledge with free will. The poems, rich with mythological and Biblical imagery, provide emotional breaks and reinforce the prose's insights. As C.S. Lewis noted, this work was beloved by educated Europeans for centuries.Boethius weaves Neoplatonism, Stoicism, and Aristotelian ideas into a Christian framework. Lady Philosophy echoes Plato's belief in innate knowledge, urging Boethius to “dream of your origin,” and champions philosopher-kings. Stoic themes emerge as she declares the mind free despite bodily exile, while Aristotle's Unmoved Mover aligns with Boethius' God. The concept of exile as a spiritual crisis resonates, connecting Boethius to figures like Odysseus and Dante.Jack and I discuss whether this is a satire, and how much both of us love Boethius as a character in his own novel.The Ignatius Press edition, translated by Scott Goins and Barbara Wyman, shines with clear prose, excellent footnotes, and quality paper—perfect for annotating. This book demands a reread and sparks a reading list including Chaucer, Milton, and C.S. Lewis' The Discarded Image. Join us! I think this book is for everyone, but even if you think, "Maybe not for me," you'll know what it's about and why it matters.This is a year-long challenge!

Full Text of ReadingsThursday of the Eleventh Week in Ordinary Time Lectionary: 368The Saint of the day is Saint RomualdSaint Romuald's Story In the midst of a wasted youth, Romuald watched his father kill a relative in a duel over property. In horror he fled to a monastery near Ravenna. After three years, some of the monks found him to be uncomfortably holy and eased him out. Romuald spent the next 30 years going about Italy, founding monasteries and hermitages. He longed to give his life to Christ in martyrdom, and got the pope's permission to preach the gospel in Hungary. But he was struck with illness as soon as he arrived, and the illness recurred as often as he tried to proceed. During another period of his life, Romuald suffered great spiritual dryness. One day as he was praying Psalm 31 (“I will give you understanding and I will instruct you”), he was given an extraordinary light and spirit which never left him. At the next monastery where he stayed, Romuald was accused of a scandalous crime by a young nobleman he had rebuked for a dissolute life. Amazingly, his fellow monks believed the accusation. He was given a severe penance, forbidden from offering Mass, and excommunicated—an unjust sentence that he endured in silence for six months. The most famous of the monasteries Romuald founded was that of the Camaldoli in Tuscany. Here began the Order of the Camaldolese Benedictines, uniting the monastic and eremitical lives. In later life Romuald's own father became a monk, wavered, and was kept faithful by the encouragement of his son. Reflection Christ is a gentle leader, but he calls us to total holiness. Now and then, men and women are raised up to challenge us by the absoluteness of their dedication, the vigor of their spirit, the depth of their conversion. The fact that we cannot duplicate their lives does not change the call to us to be totally open to God in our own particular circumstances. Saint of the Day, Copyright Franciscan Media

Aegidius and Syagrius, father and son warriors, born of an ancient Roman-Gaul senatorial lineage, would keep the dream of Rome alive in Gaul long after the Western Empire fell. In the baddest of bad neighborhoods, for three decades they reminded the world what Rome stood for, with no help from an emperor in Ravenna or Constantinople. It wasn't about fame for these two, it was about principle! Prepare to be blown away....
No grand battle. No final blaze of glory. In 476 AD, the Western Roman Empire collapsed not with a roar, but with a quiet abdication. A boy emperor - Romulus Augustulus - handed over the regalia of power in Ravenna, signalling the end of an empire that had once ruled the known world. But how did it come to this?In this episode, the finale of our Fall of Rome miniseries, Tristan Hughes is joined by historian and bestselling author Adrian Goldsworthy to chart the chaotic final decades of the Western Roman Empire. From puppet emperors and ruthless kingmakers like Ricimer to the meteoric rise of Odoacer, discover how political infighting, military mutiny, and foreign ambition brought the Roman West to its knees - and ushered in the age of kings.MORE: Roman Emperors with Mary Beard: https://open.spotify.com/episode/7C7wRHjSPeif9pLD2UZJyY?si=5226c8e7f9584336Presented by Tristan Hughes.
