Magnus Maximus & Roman Britain in the 4th Century AD

Published 1 year, 6 months ago
Description

In the boom time in Roman Britain, 3rd century AD, one Roman Emperor made his mark on the chaotic island before he was canceled in his own time... and afterwards. But was the treatment of Magnus Maximus unfair? Was he just a usurper? Or absolutely pivotal in the history and mythology of Britain?

Today’s Classical Wisdom Speaks podcast is with Maxwell Craven, historian, archaeologist, and author of several books, including his most recent: "Magnus Maximus: The Neglected Roman Emperor and his British Legacy", of which we speak about today.
