About This Podcast
A journey through the history of the Roman Empire through the book series Artifacts of Empire. But there is more. We explore the coins of the Roman Empire, coin collecting and for those who want to be deeply involved in coins and numismatics.
But this podcast series is about more than this book series. it is about understanding coins, it is about understanding history, and it is about understanding archaeology.
It is also about people who wish to travel a little differently. that is to say to become a personal EXPLORIST. We will take you through wonders and lead you to a deeper understanding of numismatics, archaeology and travel. Joining the club and buying our merchandise will help fund the Numismatics Foundation in India (a compliant Not for Profit).
Most of our journey will be by podcast but for those who want to know a little more there will be hosted video lectures on both numismatics and archaeology.
Later we have a tour by video of various sites in India.
We will have books available both for the traveller to explore and for those who want to delve deeper into theory and expertise. These travel adventures will have music prepared and written by your host Arthur Needham so it can become an all-encompassing experience.
Discussions by Visiting Fellow (Postgraduate) Arthur Needham FRAS FRNS who welcomes you aboard an exciting journey to be taken as lightly as you wish or as seriously as your heart desires. So come, dig it with knowledge and care.
