Potentially Interesting Roman History

Roman historian bringing emperors, scandals & unhinged history to life.

I’m James Coverley, a historian, translator, and writer. This channel brings accurate, scandal-soaked Roman history to the same people who are tired of silly internet myths and boring textbook lectures.

Expect emperors behaving badly, graffiti that would make your nan blush, myths debunked with scholarship, and stories you'll actually want to tell at the pub.

📌 New video every Friday + Shorts during the week.
