Pyrrhus vs. Rome Documentary

When Pyrrhus of Epirus invaded southern Italy in 280 BC, he set a historic collision course into motion--a collision between East and West. For the first time, the vaunted Macedonian pike phalanx would meet the Roman legion in battle. This is the story of how Pyrrhus, a descendent of Alexander the Great (and supposedly Achilles himself), carved his name in history as one of the most colorful, inspiring, and tragic commanders of antiquity. To tell this incredible story, we are joined by four expert historians: Adrian Goldsworthy, Denis Feeney, Michael Taylor, and Myke Cole. Our thanks to all four gentlemen for sitting down to talk about Pyrrhus of Epirus! We must also thank Sebastien Angel for his stirring "Epic Gods" music and Jose Moran for his exceptional original illustrations. And of course, most of all, we want to thank our army of Patreon supporters for being the best community of historical wargamers out there.
