In the new game Anno 117: Pax Romana, the Emperor has appointed you as governor, tasked with developing new provinces in the Empire.It’s tempting to think of the Roman Empire as, well, Roman. But by its very nature the Empire consisted of people from a diverse range of cultures, with their own languages, traditions and architecture. How did the Romans keep this hodge-podge of territories together? And how much of what we think of as “Roman” is really borrowed from other ancient peoples?To help him grapple with the vastness of the Roman Empire, Matt Lewis is joined by Professor Benedict Lowe.Echoes of History is a Ubisoft podcast, brought to you by History Hit.
