Autocrat- A Roman History Podcast

Bonus XIX- In Other News: Egypt in 753 BCE

2026-03-01

Now that we've reached the founding of Rome, let's see what some areas in the rest of the world look like at this time. Today, we'll be exploring Egypt, which is currently in the middle of it's 22nd and 23rd dynasties. Fair warning- there will be a lot more people called Sheshonq and Osorkon than you might be able to handle...

NOTE: The book we have been working with as a source mentions pharaohs called Sheshonq, while Wikipedia spells it Shoshenq.

Where can you listen?

A relaxed journey through Roman history and mythology, hopefully with plenty of tangents, sidebars and interesting distractions along the way. Our goal- even if it ends up being unrealised- is to journey from the Theogony all the way to the fall of Constantinople in 1453 and beyond. This show is just for fun, and we hope you have fun with it too!
