* The Punic Wars (including the alternate history 'Hannibal's Children)* Roman history as a game of Total War

* School nativity plays and the Dallas and Dynasty appeal of the Julio-Claudians* Agrippa the Immortal
* The fickle survival and destruction of Republics and Monarchies
* Why not to let Commodus run & ruin your Empire.
* The Marian reforms and the dangers of a professional miltiary (with thanks to Will Self.)
* They debate irresistible nature of monotheism and Time-Travelling Popes
* Mad Max and the fall of the West* Julian the Apostate (Our hero, he's dreamy, titter yee not!)

Scrolls Chapter 19: Recently Reading
Episode Duration: 0 days, 1 hours, 45 minutes and 46 secondsIn which we focus in a little on the latest books that we've plucked from the top of our bookstacks. In the absence of Mattie we are joined by 'The Grampus' a.k.a Matt Farr from Dissecting Worlds. He kicks things off with Adrian Tchaikovsky's insect-themed fantasy, the Shadows of the Apt. Clover follows this up with Juggernaut, an explosive zombie actioner by Adam Baker set in the Gulf conflict. Next up, Phil tells us about Stacia Kane's stylish and grungy urban fantasy, Unholy Ghosts. Dion then waxes lyrical about Jenny Nimmo's The Snow Spider, a beautiful children's fantasy with a tragic heart. Finally Matt gives us a flavour of the prolific but oft under-appreciated weird fiction writer Clark Ashton Smith. All of this is of course spiced with our usual blend of good humor and pettiness.
Stay tuned also for Adam Baker's first recorded interview on Juggernaut, after the main programme.
Feedback is always welcome. You can post comments here on GS, e-mail us at scrolls@hotmail.co.uk or tweet us @scrollscast if you like.
If you want to get personal you can send abuse to @phlambler or pedantic diatribes to @thegrampus. @Dion_Scrolls is more partial to flattery or sponsorship deals from major ice-cream producers.
I'm just saying...
Anyway, that's enough waffle. Keep reading.

Scrolls Book Group: The Woman In Black
Episode Duration: 0 days, 1 hours, 24 minutes and 51 secondsIn which Susan Hill's chilling classical ghost story is shared, enthused over and examined by the Scrolls team. Clover hosts this special episode, ably assisted by Mattie & Phil and joined by the multi-talented Sarah Taylor, who has been a fan of the story (in all its forms) for many years. Whilst absent from the discussion, Dion provides a little atmosphere with selected readings from the text in the first half of the episode.
With deference to the new film and the ever popular stage production, the second half of the episode examines alternative interpretations of the tale and the ways in which they both succeed and fail to capture the essence of Hill's creation. Along with a certain amount of squeeing. I'm naming no names.
As ever with the Scrolls Book Group, spoilers abound, so we recommend that you read the book before you listen in.
Preferably by candlelight.
Alone...
