The History of Byzantium 
Nnnnoooooo! The ending made me choke up a bit. I know this day would come, but I am still sad that we’ve reached the end of Eastern Rome.
Thank you, Robin for all your hard work over the years.
🙂
fingers crossed for the last episode. 2 weeks past and still waiting anxiously.
Yes, sorry I should have posted on the website about the delay. I did on social media. Will be with you soon
