I had begun to despair of Colin ever getting another podcast out, but at last one has reappeared. He seems to be on great form with an account of the building of Constantinople. Rome was to be eclipsed by this new city, but it is probable the Eastern Roman Empire would not have survived if Constantine hadn't done what he did. (There isn't as much humour as usual in this one but even so, it might be worth giving it a skip if you are a lawyer.)
