Steampunk Rome III: Hellenistic Science, Hell Yeah – RPG, Pt 1 – Greek and Roman History

Dead Ideas: The History of Extinct Thoughts and Practices - Podcast készítő B. T. Newberg and history nerd friends

So Roman tech was pretty surprising, but still more surprising is that all that was developed centuries earlier in the Hellenistic period. What's up with that? Today we explore the development of Hellenistic science, then go deep into that world with a roleplay that will continue in the following episodes. Today we visit Pergamum and Rhodes, discovering all about Hellenistic learning along the way. Be sure to support the show at www.patreon.com/deadideaspod to get your portrait drawn!
