| 10/17/26 | 173: Senatus Populusque Romanus (Rome Check 2) | After expanding to dominate most of the central Italian Peninsula, Rome was quick to take advantage of political crises to the south to expand their influence. From Pyrrhus' invasion on behalf of Tarentum to the final defeat of Hannibal in the Second Punic War, we bring Rome up to speed with the Seleucid narrative.Visit https://HoPfulMedia.com.co to support this show!Support | BlueSky | Facebook | InstagramOur Sponsors:* Check out TruDiagnostic and use my code PERSIA for a great deal: https://www.trudiagnostic.comAdvertising Inquiries: https://redcircle.com/brandsPrivacy & Opt-Out: https://redcircle.com/privacy | 1h 05m 58s | ||||||

| 9/20/26 | 171: Syria Five | Following his return from Mesopotamia and Arabia, Antiochus the Great was poised to begin a Fifth Syrian War with the goal of conquering Koile Syria. To prepare for this, he would settle Anatolia, fully annex Armenia, and forge a secret alliance with Philip V of Macedon. Then it was time to plunge the eastern Mediterranean back into a storm of conflict that would ultimately bring a new power into the Hellenistic World.
