In this episode, we discuss a fascinating treasure hunt that spans the length of nearly 2,000 years. Join us as we venture back in time to the Roman Empire and its ever-peaceful means of conquest. There is no chance whatsoever this episode contains mass annihilation of a people group, attempted robbery of an insurmountable treasure from said annihilated people group, and that particular people groups’ ruler getting brutally murdered because they wore the wrong color robe. Rome was much too civilized for all that crazy jazz. BUT, in the off-chance history was written by the victors, what happened to these people and all their copious booty?! It means swag you neanderthal. Get your mind out of the gutter. In this episode we attempt to unravel the “What ifs” behind this story. I think you’ll find it to be a truly treasured story. See what I did there.
