For this installment of Flashback Summer, we flashed\u00a0way<\/em> back to ancient Rome. We read The Rotten Romans<\/em> from the Horrible Histories series by Terry Deary & Martin Brown<\/a> with returning guest, librarian Laura<\/a>. It’s a whimsically British look at history with some cartoons that remain inscrutable, even to the eyes of adult Americans with history degrees. This podcast is only available in English, because Latin is a dead language (RIP).<\/p>\n
