The Totally Chaotic History series was devised with this mission in mind. The first title in the series – Ancient Egypt Gets Unruly – became an instant hit when it was published in May 2024, and Book two, which turns its focus on Roman Britain got an even better reception.

This whirlwind tour covers everything a listener needs to know about over 1,000 years of Roman Britain, showing us what it would really have been like to live through years and years of chaotic history.
