Episode 354 - Final Questions17 jun33 min

I answer the final batch of questions which came in after 1453. They are mostly fun speculation or about me and the podcast.

Our Constantine Acrostic

Christianized the Roman state,

Oldest offspring of the Great.

Nearly reigned one hundred days,

Saved the city, so they say.

Theophanes called him dung,

Assassinated by his mum.

Noted writer, purple born,

The Slayer's brother earns our scorn.

If Monomachos tried his best,

No Doukas could save the rest.
