392 / Radical Antiquity / Christopher B. Zeichmann

Christopher B. Zeichmann, scholar of religion and antiquity, joined me in an enlightening discussion about his new book, Radical Antiquity: Free Love Zoroastrians, Farming Pirates, and Ancient Uprisings, released through Pluto Press. We take an uncommon ground-level tour through the ancient Graeco-Roman world. Instead of viewing this period and place through the myopic lens of the elites of these societies—the so-called Great Men of History—Zeichmann impresses upon us the radical forms of democracy that were being practiced and the peoples that were practicing them during this period. // Episode notes: https://www.lastborninthewilderness.com/episodes/christopher-zeichmann // Sustain + support: https://www.patreon.com/lastborninthewilderness // Donate: https://www.paypal.me/lastbornpodcast
