Trajan's Projects In The Provinces

Trajan's Projects In The Provinces

In the new game Anno 117: Pax Romana, the Emperor has appointed you as governor, tasked with developing new provinces in the Empire. The game is set in a big year for Rome: it marked the moment the Roman Empire expanded the furthest in all its history, and saw the death of Trajan, who is counted amongst the Five Good Emperors.


But why was Trajan so popular? You’ve probably heard of Trajan’s Column, which celebrates his military might. But there are many building projects bearing his name all across Europe and the Middle East. Was Trajan just a construction addict, or did his provincial projects serve a practical purpose?


Prof. Maggie Popkin joins Matt Lewis to examine the blueprints of Trajan's grand schemes.

Exploits Of The Norse Gods

Exploits Of The Norse Gods

Nestled in their kingdom of Asgard, the Norse gods watch over Midgard, the realm of men. There are numerous threats coming from the nine realms, starting with the giants whose taunts and provocations become more and more frequent. Fortunately, men and gods can count on Odin and his powerful son Thor to repel the attacks. And when the god of thunder brandishes his hammer Mjölnir, it's usually the start of a great adventure.Texts: Julie Gouazé, Clément LesaffreVoices: Lance Geiger, James BrackProduction: Axelle Gobert, Clément LesaffreProduction assistant: Aimie FaconnierRecording: Théo Albaric, Marec PanchotMixing and editing: Alexandre FerreiraSpeakers: Annelie Jarl Ireman, Gísli Sigurdson, Eric LaceyDubbing: Elisabeth WautletInternational adaptation: VSI, MaremotoInternational coordination: Martin StahlOriginal music: David SpinelliPre-existing music: Stephanie Economou, Einar SelvikIllustration: ProdigiousExecutive producers: Lorenzo Benedetti, Louis Daboussy, Benoit Dunaigre, Julien Fabre, Etienne BouvierUbisoft: Etienne Allonier, Aymar Azaizia, Céline Brillouet, Leslie Capillon, Louis Raynaud, Justine VilleneuveAn original Ubisoft series, produced by Paradiso MediaIf you liked this podcast please subscribe, share, rate & review.To find out more go to website or find us on Facebook & Twitter.Hosted on Acast.
