London has a long history, starting as Londinium by the Romans around 47-50 AD. It was once a busy place until it got abandoned in the 5th century. Later, the Anglo-Saxons brought it back to life. Dr. Dominic Perring shares some details about the city's origins and what we know about the first Londoners through archaeological finds. It’s all pretty interesting if you’re into that sort of thing. Anyway, if you want to dive deeper, there are documentaries and podcasts available. So, yeah, check it out if you feel like it. #LondonHistory #Archaeology #RomanLondon #Londinium #HistoryHit

Robert E. Lee was a general in the Confederate Army during the American Civil War. He led the Army of Northern Virginia and was named general-in-chief of all Confederate forces in 1865. Lee had some notable victories in 1862, but his defeat at Gettysburg in July 1863 was pretty significant. It’s just one of those historical things we all kind of know about, I guess. Nothing too exciting. #RobertELee #CivilWar #ConfederateGeneral #AmericanHistory #Gettysburg

Michaela Fachar, a former national security analyst in the U.S. Air Force, recently shared her experiences with non-human intelligence (NHI). After her unexpected contact with NHI during her studies at Georgetown, she kept it quiet to stay focused on her work. Now, as a whistleblower, she's revealing details from her deployment in Qatar, connecting with others in the intelligence community. Her story is gaining attention, especially on UFO Twitter. Seems like a lot, but honestly, it’s just another day in the world of intelligence and the unknown. #MichaelaFachar #NonHumanIntelligence #USAF #UFOs #Whistleblower

Another day, another failed film. This time, a science fiction movie crashed and burned, taking the director's career with it. It’s kind of sad, really, but also not surprising. The studio shut down in just a week. Guess it wasn’t meant to be. Another reminder of how quickly things can go downhill in the film industry. Not that anyone seems to care much about it anymore. #FilmFailure #ScienceFiction #DirectorDownfall #StudioShutdown #ElAdelantadoDeSegovia

Lugdunum, or Lyon today, was the site of a pretty big battle in 197 AD. Septimius Severus and Clodius Albinus went from being pals to enemies in a clash that Cassius Dio claims involved around 300,000 soldiers. That's a lot, but the exact numbers are kind of debated. Still, it's marked as one of the bloodiest confrontations in Roman history. Tristan chats with Dr. Jonathan Eaton about the lead-up to this massive fight and whether it really deserves the title of the biggest Roman battle. Not that it really matters much, I guess. #Lugdunum #RomanHistory #SeptimiusSeverus #ClodiusAlbinus #BattleOfLugdunum

Archaeologists in Croatia found some remains of an ancient Roman watchtower. It's around 1,800 years old, part of the Danubian Limes. Apparently, it was used to keep an eye on Germanic tribes back in the day. Just another old structure, I guess. Not much more to say. #RomanHistory #Archaeology #Croatia #AncientRuins #BoringFacts

We cover women's roles, including marriage and childbirth. It's a bit dry, really, but if you're into informal political power among women back then, this might be worth a listen. #AH20 #Fulvia #RomanHistory #JaneDraycott #LateRepublic

Isn't it pathetic that we’re still drooling over ancient relics like the 1,800-year-old Roman watchtower unearthed in Croatia, while ignoring the pressing issues in our modern society? Sure, this watchtower was part of the Danubian Limes and helped defend against Germanic tribes, but what are we doing to defend our own communities today? Archaeologists might be celebrating their find, but what about the real "watchtowers" we need right now—like affordable housing, quality education, and healthcare? It's infuriating to see resources poured into glorifying the past while our present is crumbling. We should be investing in the future, not dusting off old stones! #RomanHistory #Croatia
