PhD historian and specialist Patrick Wyman brings the cutting edge of history to listeners in plain, relatable English.

31: Interview: Historian Kyle Harper on Disease, Climate and the Fall of the Roman Empire

Justinian was the last great Roman emperor, but his reign was plagued by disasters beyond his control: volcanic eruptions, a changing climate, and a plague of epic proportions. Those disasters created a turning point that we can, with good reason, call the end of the Roman Empire.

28: Tides of History: How the Eastern Roman Empire Survived Attila the Hun and the Disastrous Fifth Century

When we talk about the fall of the Roman Empire, we're only talking about the western half - France, Spain, Italy, North Africa, and Britain. The eastern half of the Roman Empire survived the disastrous fifth century and would last in one form or another until 1453. What was so special about the eastern half of the Roman Empire, and how did it avoid the fate of its western cousin?
