Listen "The Romans II - Keep in Touch!"
Episode Synopsis
Welcome to season 4, episode 3!And today we´re all about the comms. Letters, fire, flags, even a pigeon. Our good friend Pliny the Younger was lucky enough to have a book read to him most evenings at dinner. And Cicero was fastidious in ensuring that messengers were well fed to keep their energy, (and no doubt their enthusiasm...) topped up. So, there´s all sorts to talk about.In this episode we´re communing with this lovely lot:Pliny the Younger, "To Fuscus", Letters 9.36Marcus Tullius Cicero, " Letters To Atticus" , 13.40Marcus Tullius Cicero, "Letters To Atticus", 5.17Polybius, "Fire Signalling", Histories book 10Music credit goes to our resident composers: Phil Russell & Alice Morgan.
