We're joined this week by Dr. Anthony Kaldellis, a professor of Classics of the University of Chicago and a brilliant Byzantine scholar. Dr. Kaldellis grants us an inside look into the creation of the world's first gossip rag: Prokopios' Secret History, detailing all the saucy and sordid details of the Byzantium court!
Check out Dr. Kaldellis' podcast, Byzantium and Friends! You can also explore his new book, The New Roman Empire: A History of Byzantium, which has just come out!
