The first half of Episode 2 - Hostile Takeover. Listen to the full episode here: https://cms.megaphone.fm/channel/ARML6837257429?selected=ARML4090812395 After the death of Aurangzeb, the United East India Company benefitted from the political chaos of 18th century India. Allying with, fighting against, and eventually dominating the Nawabs of Bengal and Arcot, the Nizam of Hyderabad, the Peshwa of the Maratha Confederacy, and the Sultans of Mysore. At the Battles of Plassey and Buxar, Company generals like Sir Robert Clive asserted British authority over massive territories, and the Carnatic Wars hobbled their European rivals. The British Empire in India was on the rise, but what goes up must come down. Subscribe to the mailing list at LangnessMedia.com Thank you to my guest historians: Philip J.

Per chi lo avesse perduto, ho lanciato un nuovo podcast! Si intitola "Storia d'Italia extra".Da tempo vado accumulando materiale che non si presta all'inserimento nel podcast principale, e ho pensato che fosse il caso dargli una casa! Si tratta di dirette facebook o youtube, oppure di interviste che sono apparse su altri podcast, o di alcuni contenuti in inglese che non sarebbe corretto inserire in un podcast in italiano. Se lo cercate oggi, vi troverete quattro episodi, mentre un quinto uscirà il 17: il primo episodio è la diretta dedicata all'etnogenesi con Igor Cherstich, il secondo è l'intervista in inglese a Robin Pierson di “The history of Byzantium”, dedicata alla storia della relazione tra Italia e Costantinopoli, il terzo è la diretta sull'economia realizzata con Jacopo Scarabello di “Economia a Polpette”, il quarto è un'intervista che ho avuto con Frank di “Cronache della terra di mezzo”, sulle fonti storiche di Tolkien. Nelle prossime settimane e mesi, conto di aggiungere anche altre puntate! Se volete restare aggiornati, vi consiglio di cliccare su “segui” o “sottoscrivi il podcast” nella vostra app. Lo trovate:SPOTIFY: https://open.spotify.com/show/0maW3DL4MrOKjjQ7w59xUF?si=0a3db7a2904f4eb1APPLE PODCAST: https://podcasts.apple.com/se/podcast/storia-ditalia-extra/id1598304837GOOGLE PODCAST: https://podcasts.google.com/feed/aHR0cHM6Ly93d3cuc3ByZWFrZXIuY29tL3Nob3cvNTI4MTQwOC9lcGlzb2Rlcy9mZWVk?sa=X&ved=0CAIQ9sEGahcKEwjYisK-8qn1AhUAAAAAHQAAAAAQFQSPREAKER: https://www.spreaker.com/show/storia-ditalia-extraCASTBOX: https://castbox.fm/channel/id4693652?utm_source=website&utm_medium=dlink&utm_campaign=web_share&utm_content=Storia%20d'Italia%20Extra-CastBox_FME su qualunque altra piattaforma di ascolto!

Now that the Romans could breathe, they had to assess their situation. They were no longer the strongest empire in the world. They had just lost most of their land and were now very small, very weak, and very poor. Something had gone wrong... God was angry with them. They just needed to figure out why.The History of Modern Greece covers the events of the Greek People from the fall of Constantinople in 1453 to the Greek War of Independence in 1821-1832, all the way through to the Greco-Turkish War from 1919 to 1922.Website: www.moderngreecepodcast.comMusic by Mark Jungerman: www.marcjungermann.comIf you enjoyed this episode and would like to learn more about Iconoclasm then I highly recommend listening to two other podcasts.

Es el año 535 de nuestra era. Desde Constantinopla, algo molesta al emperador de oriente, Justiniano. La gloria romana está manchada, deslucida. Donde antes marchaban los legionarios en triunfos y los senadores lanzaban discursos, hoy, los bárbaros se emborrachan y se pelean. Roma ha estado perdida demasiado tiempo. Roma debe ser recuperada. Así, Justiniano concebirá un ambicioso plan para recuperar la parte del imperio que se perdió. Justinano recuperará el oeste. Luchará con vándalos, godos, con quien sea, para ver volar el águila de nuevo. Y para el trabajo tiene al hombre perfecto: a Belisario, el último romano. Lejos estaba Justiniano de imaginarse que Italia se volvería una piedra en el zapato. ¡Episodio especial con invitado de lujo! Hoy nos acompaña el historiador, escritor y podcaster Sergio Alejo Gómez. Contaremos la historia de la guerra de Justiniano para recuperar Italia de los ostrogodos en más de tres horas de podcast espectacular.

Episode 85The Fall and Rise of RomeDescription: Today we have a special episode called the Fall and Rise of Rome. I prepared and recorded this episode for Robin Pierson and it originally was published on his History of Byzantium podcast feed. Someone had a question for him about what was happening in Rome and western Europe during the early Byzantine period. I looked at how the decline of the political Roman Empire in the west corresponded with the rise of Christianity and the Papacy in the west. I also discuss the demographics and state of the actual city of Rome during this period. I think you will really enjoy. This episode is a nice review and launch to the next phase of the early medieval period we are getting into.

It's the story of a farmboy, an actress, an unruly mob, and a bacterium. The Roman Empire evolved, and based in Constantinople, it reached a new golden age under the leadership of Justinian. His success is best seen in the masterpiece church: the Hagia Sophia, or Ayasofya in Turkish. The Hagia Sophia was the greatest cathedral in Christendom for a thousand years, then a resplendent mosque, and now a fully restored museum. But shortly after its construction highlighted the peak of Eastern Roman prosperity, a bacterium came to Constantinople and brought the empire to its knees. Joining me to talk about Justinian, the Hagia Sophia, and the plague is the great Robin Pierson, host of the History of Byzantium podcast. Robin recently visited Istanbul and talks about exploring its Byzantine sites as well as how Turkish food charmed even his palate. There are fish sandwiches to eat and Ratatouille references to enjoy. Sources: Heather, Peter. The Restoration of Rome: Barbarian Popes and Imperial Pretenders Lonely Planet Istanbul Lord Kinross.

Justinian I of Byzantium is among the most towering figure of the ancient and medieval periods. His innovations in governance, architecture, law, and welding together religion with imperial power were blueprints of governance for the next thousand years of kings and emperors. He rose to imperial power in 527 AD and reacquired Roman lands in Europe that were lost a century ago to Vandal and Ostrogothic invasions. He removed the rotting branches of his administration, replacing bureaucrats from the aristocracy with independent counselors.Justinian also rewrote the Roman law, the Corpus Juris Civilis. He gathered together legal commentaries and laws of the Roman legal system into a single text that would hold the force of law. It was composed in Latin and is still the basis of civil law in many of the empire's descendant states. To talk with us about how Justinian changed the world is Robin Pierson, host of the History of Byzantium Podcast. Here are five parts of history that Justinian irrevocably changed: Laws Hagia Sophia Christianizing culture Slavs Islam   ABOUT ROBIN PIERSON Robin Pierson is from London in the UK. He writes about American TV shows at thetvcritic.org and works for his father (an actor). Robin created the show to continue the narrative established by Mike Duncan’s wonderful podcast “The History of Rome.” He uses the structure of half-hour instalments told from a state-centric perspective. He pauses the narrative at the end of each century to take time to cover wider issues to do with Byzantium RESOURCES MENTIONED IN THIS EPISODE The History of Byzantium: A podcast telling the story of the Roman Empire from 476 AD to 1453

Description: In this episode, we talk to Robin Pierson of the History of Byzantium podcast. Specifically we talk about John Chrysostom who was the Arch Bishop of Constantinople during the late 300’s AD. John ended a long, interesting career with a short, rocky tenure in Constantinople. Robin has created a series call the “Byzantine Stories.” The first series is on the career of John Chrysostom, so let’s find out more about his life and times.

This week we cover treacherous Gallic tribes, Hannibal's treacherous crossing of the Alps and the song Treacherous by Taylor Swift. Featuring special guest Robin Pierson of the podcast, The History of Byzantium.

In the next few episodes, we are going to explore several individual stories which will all lead us into the Second Ecumenical Council held in Constantinople in 381AD. In this episode, we will focus in on a schism that happened in the city of Antioch. Two rival camps would form around two different Orthodox Trinitarian Bishops. There will be plenty of meddling in this situation by Popes, Patriarchs and Emperors and not everyone will have the best interest of the people of Antioch in mind.
