Flame Beats Wood – Vespasian #29

October 14, 2026 · 18 min

We're at Masada. Silva has his 10th Legion, a 91-metre siege mound, an iron-plated tower, and a battering ram the size of a small building. The 960 Sicarii inside have a second wall made of logs and dirt that just gets stronger the harder…
The Dagger Men – Vespasian #28

September 28, 2026 · 16 min

One Punch, Paetus – Vespasian #27

September 14, 2026 · 14 min

The Landlord of Judaea – Vespasian #26

August 26, 2026 · 14 min

A River of Gold – Vespasian #24

July 13, 2026 · 23 min

We're covering the triumph of Vespasian and Titus, and our eyewitness is Josephus.... a Jewish priest who watched Rome parade the looted contents of his own temple down the street and somehow managed to keep it together enough to write one…
The God in the Dog Mask – Vespasian #23

June 29, 2026 · 16 min

This episode we're deep in the Temple of Isis - which turns out to be exactly where Vespasian and Titus had to spend the night before their joint triumph, for reasons both boring and genuinely weird. We also cover Decius Mundus, a man so…
Titus’ Victory Tour – Vespasian #22

June 11, 2026 · 17 min

Titus wraps up the Jewish War with a five-month tour of the region, dropping in on city after city with two legions at his back and thousands of Jewish captives in tow.... who he then has killed, in as many creative ways as possible, as…
The Last Man Standing – Vespasian #21

June 2, 2026 · 20 min

Vespasian is finally making his way back to Rome and apparently every city he passes through absolutely loses its goddamn mind.... according to Josephus who is, of course, completely unbiased. Meanwhile Domitian is talking a big game about…
CROWNS FROM THE TEMPLE – Vespasian #20

May 26, 2026 · 18 min

YHWH v JOVE – Vespasian #19

May 7, 2026 · 35 min

On this episode, Cameron and Ray wrap up the fall of Jerusalem in September 70 CE — Titus strolls into the ruins, declares Yahweh helped him destroy Yahweh's own temple, and the boys go deep on the genuinely wild linguistic coincidence…
UNLEASH THE CARL – Vespasian #18

April 16, 2026 · 21 min

This week we finally reach the end of the Siege of Jerusalem — and it's brutal. Titus storms the upper city, the rebels' back is broken, Simon and John have vanished into the tunnels, and by September 25th, 70 CE, the city is rubble and…
