Lost Roman Heroes - Episode 96 - Gregory the Great (Part 1)
About this episode
This episode explores the life of Gregory the Great, a prominent figure in Rome during the decline of the Western Empire.
In 540 AD, Rome had thirty thousand people struggling to survive, living inside walls built for a million. Sheep grazed in the forums of Augustus and Trajan. Into this world was born one of the last great Roman aristocrats, a man who would give away his fortune, flee to a monastery, get sent to Constantinople, and spend six years politely chastising Emperor Mauricius, would would not listen, or did not care, about the forgotten children of the fallen Western Empire. This is Gregory the Great. Part 1.
