Plutarch's Greeks and Romans Podcast
Plutarch’s Greeks and Romans is a podcast inspired by Plutarch’s ancient collection of biographies of famous Grecians and Romans.
Plutarch was both a Greek and a Roman citizen living during the Pax Romana - the Golden Age of the Roman Empire.
Our podcast will explore 50+ persons Plutarch believed were most influential in the rise of Greek and Roman civilization, from legends such as Theseus and Romulus to conquerors like Alexander the Great and Julius Caesar.
Plutarch had no shortage of great people and stories to tell us about about these people who shaped their times and ours!

Episode 6: The Life of Numa Pompilius
Numa Pompilius, a man whom never wanted to be King, a man with a deep faith in the Gods topped off with a philosophy abhorrently against an aggression and anger driven society forever at war depriving Rome’s citizens of more Godly and more peaceful societal improvements.
If it’s said, Romulus gifted the Romans with a grand military tradition and supporting institutions which would last for a millennia, then Numa as a counter to military traditions, gifted the Romans grand religious traditions and supporting religious institutions, which would last for a millennia or more also.
Hope you enjoy! Head over to our blog and leave some comments, lets get the conversation started.
