Robin discusses ‘Byzantium and Italy’ with Marco Capelli. Marco is the brilliant host of Storia d’Italia – a podcast telling the story of the History of Italy – in Italian. This interview is in English. Please do tell any Italian speakers you know about Storia d’Italia (italiastoria.com).
Good point about the Roman navy. I think Romanos Lekapenos is the only naval commander in all the Roman history that was powerful enough to become emperor, and also the only Roman admiral that I would be able to name.
