One of the most legendary legions in the history of the Roman military was the Legio IX (nonam) Hispana, or the Ninth Spanish Legion.
They served under Pompey the Great and later with Julius Caesar in Gaul. They later served Augustus and were pivotal in the conquest of Britain under Emperor Claudius.
Then at some point, they simply disappeared. There was never a mention of them again in the historical record.
For almost 2000 years, it has been one of the world’s greatest historical mysteries.
Learn more about the missing Legion and what might have happened to them on this episode of Everything Everywhere Daily.

The War of 1812 (Encore)
After the American War of Independence, Britain recognized the United States, but it didn’t necessarily make them close allies.
Each country had its own agendas, and a generation later, they were butting heads again over a host of issues.
The result was another war, but unlike the Revolutionary War, everyone claimed victory, and no one really won anything.
Learn more about the War of 1812, its causes, and its resolution on this episode of Everything Everywhere Daily.

Originally called Sextilis, the sixth month in the early Roman calendar, it was renamed in 8 BC to recognize Augustus’s achievements, particularly his victories and consolidation of power.
According to Roman tradition, the month was chosen because several of his significant accomplishments occurred during Sextilis.

Canned Food
For centuries, food preservation was a significant challenge for humanity.
Even if you were successful in hunting or gathering food, if you could not preserve it, it would be difficult to keep enough for survival.
One of the most important advancements in human history was the development of canning, allowing for food to be preserved for significantly longer periods of time.
Sometimes, very long periods of time.
Find out about the history of canning and its impact on humanity on this episode of Everything Everywhere Daily.
