🪿🪿The sacred geese have honked but still the Gallic siege of Rome continues!

In this episode we catch the Gauls being cheeky with the scales, and it’s time to bust out your best renditions of ‘Eye of the Tiger’ because Camillus is doing a training montage. Can we trust Livy? Can we trust Diodorus Siculus? Tune in to find out!

🌟A hint about our forthcoming episode!

Later this week, we’ll be heading back in time to 393 BCE in ancient Rome. What is going on with Camillus? And (very importantly) will his golden bowl, offered as an apology to Apollo for forgetting his vow after the Roman conquest of Veii, make it to Delphi? All these details and many more coming your way soon!

This bowl is a phiale—libation bowl—from Greek and dates to C4th–C3rd BCE. It is NOT the bowl the Romans made for Apollo but it gives a sense of what such an artefact may have looked like.
