I haven't produced any content for AVM since mid-August. I explain why here. Also talk about the future of AVM as a history podcast, and give a rundown on my views of religion since that's going to be a consistent topic over the near future. Sorry if it's not the episode y'all have been waiting for, but I needed to get this off my chest. Intro: Pines of Rome: Pines of the Villa Borghese, by Ottorino Respighi. Riccardo Muti conducting the Philadelphia Orchestra. Outro: Roman Festivals: The Epiphany, by Ottorino Respighi. Sergiu Comissiona conducting the Baltimore Symphony Orchestra.

Ad Vincere Mundi

Update: My Life, the Future of AVM, and My Views on Religion

In the first episode of Ad Vincere Mundi, which deals with the history of Classics as a discipline, Colette breaks down what dialectical and historical materialism are, and then she confronts one of the most egregious and poisonous myths about the field: that of classical history as ‘white history’. I apologize for any sound issues/editing gaffes. Intro: Pines of Rome: Pines of the Villa Borghese, by Ottorino Respighi. Riccardo Muti conducting the Philadelphia Orchestra. Musical Interlude: Ύμνος του Εθνικό Απελευθερωτικό Μέτωπο (Anthem of the Greek National Liberation Front). Maria Dimitriadi, Afroditi Manou. Outro: Roman Festivals: The Epiphany, by Ottorino Respighi. Sergiu Comissiona conducting the Baltimore Symphony Orchestra.

I cover Classical History as well as Christian history and theology from a non-orthodox Christian perspective. I will talk about everyone and everything. 'Western Civilization' is a lie, Rome was a dystopia, everyone was gay, and Jesus wasn't white. Twitter: @Ad_Vincere_Pod
