The Partial Historians is a podcast i've been enjoying about ancient roman history, from two female historians of ancient Rome. I've mostly been listening to their "From the founding of the city" series of episodes, which is essentially going thru (mostly) year-by-year and discussing that year in roman history. It's probably on track to finish sometime this century, maybe. I've enjoyed it, the tone is fun, the historians are not hesitant to have very reasonable opinions about things such as that patricians are terrible and roman conceptions of virtue were bad. Also there are major players with names like Spurius Furius. Plus sometimes there are episodes on things like Aram Khachaturian's ballet about Spartacus (not part of the "From the founding of the city" series).
