SYNOPSIS:
The History of Byzantium Podcast by Robin Pierson is one of the best history podcasts out there! We continue the story of the Roman Empire into the troubling time of the Nika Riots and Justinian's brutal solution. Then we go to the war in North Africa where Belisarius proves he's more than a match for the Vandal King. Finally we look at the legacy of Justinian with his code of laws and the Hagia Sophia - which have stood the test of time.

This is the level of detail I've always wanted with the Eastern Roman Empire. You are doing a fantastic job, absolutely unparalleled!
-
WOW John was such a bloody penny pincher! Even the bread was baked in the bathhouse. An essential minion for any empire builder.
-
Safe to say that this is my SHIT! The new narrator sounds great as well. Has a bit of benign attitude to their cadence much like the original. I’m digging it. FPH the most underrated history channel on YouTube. Loved the humanizing description of the men being brought into the church.

-
So glad you partnered with Robin for this series, I love the podcast, your own work and seeing both together is a perfect blend, well done!
-
Nika greens/blues are such a good analogue for modern public discourse.
-
To all Orthodox, the Haghia Sophia resonates in the mind as the lost temple. Your video gets to the heart of how this magnificent structure inspires Greek churches everywhere.
-
You are amazing. I love how you're taking so much time to go through all aspects of Byzantine history. Most historians treat the Byzantine Empire as a mere footnote.
-
The best. If I had to ask for a video I want to watch rn I couldn’t pick a better creator or topic.
-
late night, problems sleeping, rain, and your videos, what a perfect combination.
-
Total War: Atilla is so underrated.
-
The amount of work that went into this had to be staggering. Great Job as always FPH!
-
Happy ERE dreams... Golden Horn days like these 😉
-
Man, I am not much into watching videos as I read books, but I just listened to this and it is gold. You have great voice, explain everything so easily, the facts, causes of everything.. and you do great video content with maps too as I see :)
-
this is my favorite channel on youtube. I cant get enough! Absolutely amazing
-
Unreal production and detail!! Thanks for producing this series. Byzantium is one of the most fascinating empires in history. Thank you so much!
-
This show is divine and is healing for the brain.
-
Christ on a bike this series is absolutely tangfastic. I almost bit the shed.

''too bad the Hun prefers fighting to fun'' [Oscar Wilde] is applicable AGAIN on the heels of this new Ukrainian War
