Episode Details

Bernie och Dan talk about Croesus, king of Lydia, and his impact on Middle East politics. The Lydian king has to juggle relations with the Medes, the Babylonians and also - to the west - the greek cities. This unique position gives him many opportunities to increase his wealth. Also they recently invented coinage as we talked about in an earlier episode.

This is a podcast by Dan Hörning and Bernie Maopolski.
