Timelines: 210 BCE - TAS 180

In 210 BCE Qin Shi Huangdi, the self-proclaimed first emperor of China was laid to rest surrounded by a terra cotta version of his army and court. But what was going on at the same time in other places in the world? In this episode we talk about the terra cotta army in China. Then we move over to Europe/Northern Africa because the end of the Second Punic War between Rome and Carthage was coming to an end at the exact same time. Finally, we take a look at the one of the first unified empires in India, the Mauryan. Interested in sponsoring this show or podcast ads for your business? Zencastr makes it really easy!
