TLTP 021 - Propositum Ad Ultima Martis

The Last Tuesday Project

Friends! Romans! Countrymen! Welcome to the Last Tuesday Project!

In this episode, Alex asks an unusual question... Do all roads really lead to Rome? Hayley and Shaun puzzle over this, covering the manipulation of data, whether roads actually lead away from Rome, and how many dinari it would cost to get from Lindum Colonia to Roma. All this, plus plenty more, in this week's historic (and ambling) episode.
