This week’s guest is James Romm, author of Demetrius: Sacker of Cities. James is an Ancient Historian and an expert in the period after the death of Alexander, when 5 families fought for control of his empire. Demetrius was one of them, and was a hugely attractive figure.

Oliver and James chat about whether Alexander was murdered, Pyrrhus of Epirus and what would the ancient world would have looked like had Alexander had survived. We’d all be speaking Greek, no doubt.

Coming up, the Film Club continues with Argo, directed by Ben Affleck. Please subscribe and rate and review if you can.
