Tuesday Jun 04, 2024
With Scipio as the youngest Military Tribune in the largest army ever fielded by the Roman Republic, this incredible force descends upon Apulia where Hannibal and the Carthaginians await. Leading to the Battle of Cannae, fought on August 2, 216 BC, as we dive into the tactics and maneuvers that would ultimately produce Rome's greatest military disaster. Also leaving 8,000 soldiers trapped within the lone standing Roman encampment, the point at which Scipio arose to lead them to safety through a daring night escape, before crushing a plot among the despairing survivors to desert the Republic.

I’m considering unfollowing this podcast. I figured I would share with you why. Your use of language is imprecise, inaccurate. It seems you do not edit your script before recording. You use words like ammendable when you mean amenable. Or careening slowly. Do you not know what careening means? Or is it slowly. And the word southern. Linguists agree it is pronounced suth ern not sow thern. If your use of language is inaccurate how can I trust your historical facts to be accurate?
