Roman Emperors: Totalus Rankium ·

2021/03/27

Manuel was never supposed to be emperor. He was the forth son. But when fate shoves him into the top job, can he build upon his father and grandfather’s legacy? Or will he watch it burn? Find out!

145 Nikepheros III

Roman Emperors: Totalus Rankium ·

2020/12/05

Yes, he is approaching 80, and yes, he has no legitimacy. But who knows? Maybe he is just what the empire needs right now to turn the sinking ship around. If only he could get rid of the couping pigeons...

01:14:31

144 Michael VII

Roman Emperors: Totalus Rankium ·

2020/11/21

Now Romanos is gone, Michael has the chance to righten the ship - with the help of his advisors, there will surely be no - whats that? They have been captured? And the money is not working? And the generals are all called Nikepheros and they are all revolting? Ah...

01:33:13

143 Romanos IV Diogenes

Roman Emperors: Totalus Rankium ·

2020/10/31

If you know your Roman history, the date of 1071 will mean something. And here we are! However, if like Jamie, you don’t know about 1071: Just how bad can Romanos’ push against the Turks go? Find out!

01:09:09

142 Eudocia

Roman Emperors: Totalus Rankium ·

2020/10/17

You wont find Eudocia on many lists, but she deserves to be on them. She may not have ruled long, but she made an impact. Also, we take a brief look into the Seljuk Turks. They may be important in the next few episodes…

01:26:11

Interview: Rex Factor: Sulla

Roman Emperors: Totalus Rankium ·

2020/10/10

Rex Factor have just released an episode on Sulla, so we thought it was the perfect excuse to have a chat with them about the man. We also chat about podcasting in general, worms, the dangers of squash and we play the ever popular ‘How well to you know your co-host’

01:15:57

141 Constantine X

Roman Emperors: Totalus Rankium ·

2020/09/27

Isaac is dead and Psellus has installed his mate to bring back the good old days of the wealthy families reaping in all the cash. As long as there are not mulitple invasions hitting the empire at once, it'll be fine!

01:27:02

140 Isaac

Roman Emperors: Totalus Rankium ·

2020/09/12

Isaac is here! He couped his way to the top, and he has plans. Hopefully camping next to Mount Outrageous Damage with Ethel the Pecheneg doesn’t slow him down…

01:06:50

139 Michael VI The Old

Roman Emperors: Totalus Rankium ·

2020/08/29

We are back! After having a break to talk about the slave revolts of the Republic, we are back ranking all the emperors. Apparently things start going downhill after the Macedonian Dynasty - so let’s see if that is true. If Michael VI is anything to go by, oh, it is true.

01:11:02

138 Theodora II Purple Born

Roman Emperors: Totalus Rankium ·

2020/06/20

We have covered her uncle, her father, her sister and three of her brother-in-laws, so now it it time to get Theodora's side of the story. She is the least known about of all of them so we do what we can to unravel her life story!

01:58:29

137 Constantine IX The Lone Fighter

Roman Emperors: Totalus Rankium ·

2020/06/07

When The Ship Smearer came to an untimely end, someone needed to step in. Zoe and Theodora did, but many in The Powerful felt they lacked a certain appendage that made them qualify. So an old flame of Zoe was found to rule the empire. Constantine Monomachos? Why not? How bad can he be?

01:21:32

136 Zoe II Purple Born

Roman Emperors: Totalus Rankium ·

2020/05/16

We have covered a lot of her life, but now we get to dive in and see what life was like from her perspective. Just who was Zoe? And how did she survive the reign of 5.5 emperors? And exactly just how many hotty-bits-on-the-side called Constantine did she have?

01:09:01

135 Michael V The Ship Smearer

Roman Emperors: Totalus Rankium ·

2020/05/01

Michael V may be the son of Steve the Ship Smearer, but that does not mean he can't become a great emperor! No! His lack of understanding the public mood does!

01:18:27

134 Michael IV

Roman Emperors: Totalus Rankium ·

2020/04/18

So Romanos is dead, and John has a plan. As does Zoe. It's a simple plan: put John's little brother and hotty-bit-on-the-side-of-Zoe Michael on the throne! What's the worst that can happen?
