The Twilight of the Romain Empire - Flavius Belisarius ~ The Alexander Articles

In the twilight of empire, one last generation of Romans sought to claw back the glory of Rome from the dying of the light and the relentless progress of history. The military mastermind of this minor Renaissance was a general by the name of Flavius Belisarius, and under his command the armies of Byzantine Rome brought the Germanic successors of the Mediterranean to their knees. Join Tim and Derek as we explore the life and legacy of one of the greatest of the Last Romans. From the ancient battlefields of Syria, to the streets of Justinian’s Constantinople, to the aging defensive walls of the city of Rome, learn the story of one of the early medieval Mediterranean’s most brilliant commanders and his enduring memory as a tragic romantic hero.

Rules

Every time our guy loses a battle, sip
Every time Derek mentions Procopius or the Secret Histories, 3 sips
Every time the emperor screws our guy over, shot
