<p>When we think of the ancient world, we tend to think of just a few societies: Egypt, Mesopotamia, and so on. But the more distant reaches of the past contained multitudes, and Raven Todd DaSilva has written a new book - <em>The Other Ancient Civilisations </em>- about some of them. I chat with her about her favorite lesser-known archaeological cultures and periods and what we can learn from a broader view of the past.</p><p><br /></p><p>Patrick's book is now available!

The long reign of Philip V comes to an end after nearly 42 years on the throne. Following the defeat at Cynoscephalae, the Antigonid ruler spends the next two decades restoring his kingdom through economic and military reforms. By 179, Macedonia was once again a powerhouse to be reckoned with. However, infighting between the two princes Perseus and Demetrius would threaten to undermine the dynasty's unity, as an appropriately Greek tragedy stains the final days of Philip's career.

Dan is joined by his friend and mentor, the renowned historian and author of The Eagle and The Hart, Dr Helen Castor, for a rundown of the wildest rivalry in Plantagenet history. Richard is a king, with the ego to match, but none of the political or interpersonal skills that would help in the role. Henry, however, has all the qualities you’d want in a monarch, except the right to rule, and soon they face off in an epic clash. A Sony Music Entertainment production.

<p>Hello everyone,</p><br /><p>Here are 3 podcast-related things you may be interested in.</p><br /><p><strong>Roman Graphic Novel</strong></p><p>Friend of the show Marco Capelli has made a comic book set in 6th century Italy. It follows two figures that we know about from an Ostrogothic jewellery collection that was discovered in 1938. A Roman Patrician Stephanus who marries a Gothic noblewoman Valatrud. They are subjects of King Theodoric who is trying to create a functioning Gothic-Roman kingdom in Italy. But their union comes shortly before Italy submerges into chaos. And Justinian sends Belisarius out to retake the home peninsula.</p><p>You can get your hands on a copy in English or Italian. In paper or in a digital format. Plus loads of other goodies are available from <a href="https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/originespictae/ammianus-vesper-mundi?ref=1tae67" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">Marco’s Kickstarter campaign</a>.</p><p>The Kickstarter ends on October 11th so act now.</p><br /><p><strong>Tour of Greece</strong></p><p>Lantern Jack, the host of the podcast Ancient Greece Declassified, is leading a tour to Greece.</p><p>It’s taking place from January 3rd to the 11th 2025.

<p>It took Alexander just three years to effectively conquer the Persian Empire. Two decisive battles - Issus and Gaugamela - proved his supremacy over the Persian king Darius III, and the two-century rule of the Achaemenids died on battlefields in the Fertile Crescent.</p><p><br /></p><p>Patrick's book is now available!
