Episode description as stored
<p>Few rulers humbled Rome quite like Shapur I. A King of Kings, he rebuilt the Sasanian Persian Empire, defeated Roman armies and captured Emperor Valerian in one of antiquity's most remarkable military triumphs.</p> <p>In this episode of <em>The Ancients</em>, Tristan Hughes is joined by Eve MacDonald to explore the rise of Shapur the Great. Why did he find so much success against the ancient Roman behemoth? How did he help forge a new Persian superpower on the Empire’s eastern frontier? And is he worthy to stand shoulder to shoulder with the likes of Hannibal, Boudicca, and Spartacus in the Roman villain hall of fame?</p> <p>MORE</p><p><strong>Persia Reborn: Rise of the Sassanians</strong></p><p><a href="https://podcasts.apple.com/gb/podcast/the-ancients/id1520403988?i=1000644788751" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">Listen on Apple</a></p><p><a href="https://open.spotify.com/episode/7gSKjbVzB2jstHXUJKDtUO?si=A6zkdXicQ-KgaeHSE2XR7Q" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">Listen on Spotify</a></p> <p><strong>Edges of Empire: The Sassanian Frontiers</strong></p><p><a href="https://podcasts.apple.com/gb/podcast/the-ancients/id1520403988?i=1000506003159" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">Listen on Apple</a></p><p><a href="https://open.spotify.com/episode/6VObqk1D5t6P410f5g2F4r?si=dHgSeY5HSoad37gWd3n68w" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">Listen on Spotify </a></p> <p>Presented by Tristan Hughes.
