Hi everyone and welcome back to the dark history podcast where we explore the darkest parts of human history. hope everyone is well I’m Rob your host as always. Welcome to season 3 episode 18 The Mystery of Rome. Last season, I delved into the enigmatic world of Ancient Egypt, uncovering the secrets and mysteries that have fascinated humanity for millennia. But today, we shift our focus to another cornerstone of ancient history, a civilization that, on the surface, seems far more familiar yet holds just as many, if not more, secrets waiting to be unraveled. In today's episode, we’ll turn our gaze to the marble columns and bustling streets of Ancient Rome, where intrigue and enigma weave through every aspect of its vast empire.

You might think that Rome, with its well-documented history and influence on modern society, is a civilization we understand inside and out. After all, Rome's legacy is everywhere—law, architecture, government, language. But if you think we've uncovered all there is to know about Rome, think again. Just like Ancient Egypt, Rome is a civilization that continues to surprise us with its layers of mystery, its hidden stories, and the unanswered questions that linger in its ruins and records.

Beneath the grandiosity of Rome’s triumphal arches and the disciplined order of its legions lies a world filled with wonders that historians and archaeologists are still piecing together. How did a small settlement by the Tiber River grow into one of the most powerful empires the world has ever seen? What really happened to the Ninth Legion, that seemingly vanished from the pages of history?

Today, we will dive into the mysteries that continue to intrigue and puzzle scholars—the unsolved enigmas that suggest we may only know part of the story. Before we start I just want to tell you about this week's podcast of the episode is the brutal, bizarre and boozy podcast. This is another brilliant podcast on my weekly listen list, but We will have a sneak peak of their show later on in the episode.

So without further ado please turn off those lights sit back and relax next to the fire for more dark history.
