Om avsnittet
We've finally reached the Byzantine Empire, with Emperor Justinian. Chariot racing! Angry mobs of sports fans! And the coronation of a fake emperor, what isn't to like? In this episode we encounter too much fandom, political intrigue, many people dying, armies turning on civilians, and sports you don't care about.
Questions answered:
What is the Byzantine Empire? Who was Emperor Justinian? What is chariot racing? Did ancient people do sports? Who were the Byzantine Emperors?
