About this episode
This is a preview of what you can expect if you subscribe to the Patreon feed. Every once and a while I like to provide one of these.
In this episode, I cover the long reign of Antoninus Pius, one of the "good" emperors who ruled the Roman Empire at its height. There are really two ways to read Antoninus: the careful manager or the fool who ignored problems that would come home to roost under Marcus Aurelius. As usual, I think the truth is somewhere in between.
