LOST ROMAN HEROES

LJ Brutus! He ended the Roman monarchy, and is known as the father of the Roman Republic. Man or Myth? Hero or court jester? Could this be our first member of the Hall of Heroes???

Exploring the man, the myth, the legend, Romulus, great-great-great-great-great-great-great-great-great grandson of Aeneas, founder of the city of Rome.

In Episode 2 we look at Rome's mythical progenitor, Aeneas of Troy, without whom, Rome would never have existed? Or at least, that was the story the Romans told themselves....

Welcome to the Lost Roman Heroes podcast! Join us as we explore the lost heroes from Roman history that were critical to the evolution, and survival of Rome, from its mythical founding (in the smoldering ruins of Troy) to its last breath with the death of Constantine XI on May 29th, 1453 when Constantinople fell to the Ottoman Turks. We will cover some familiar names, and many more lesser known heroes that stood up when the odds were grim and the future bleak so that Rome would survive. Join us on our adventure, and help us, share names of history makers so that together we can unpack, and unearth, the unforgotten past that contributed mightily to the world we know today..
