Lost Roman Heroes - Episode 69: Honorable Mentions (Part I)
Lost Roman Heroes get their own episode, true, but as Season 2 draws to close we admit that we made some mistakes. We missed some guys, sad but true, and some genuinely heroic characters had the great misfortune of not appearing in the historical record. Its OK, these are our misfits, the extra-lost, Lost Roman Heroes, that we believe deserve an HONORABLE MENTION (PART 1).

Lost Roman Heroes - Episode 67: Majorian (Part 2)
Having inherited a bankrupt Western Empire, with no treasury, no army, no popular support, and no civitas, Majorian sets about achieving the impossible, knitting the West back together again. Never before has a Western Emperor started in such dire straits, with such ambitious objectives, and with such exceptional talents. We cannot help but wish him the very best (as we shed a tear for him, and Rome)...

Lost Roman Heroes - Episode 66: Majorian (Part 1)
Majorian was a young Italian commander who served with distinction under Aetius as the great general tried to piece the West back together again.

Lost Roman Heroes - Episode 65: Aetius (Part 2)
Aetius maneuvers himself to the top of the power structure in the West, only to be brought low by Galla Placidia and loyal Bonfatius. After suffering his first and only real defeat, there is no one left to oppose him, but rather than seeking the throne for himself, he dedicates himself to piecing Rome back together, taking on his greatest nemesis, Attila himself!
