#5: Aksum – One of the Four Great Powers of Antiquity

Black History Unveiled - En podkast av Amat Levin

Today's episode is about an East African kingdom that, in the 2nd century CE, was described as one of the world's foremost powers, along with Rome, Persia, and China. A kingdom that erected grand monuments and whose coinage spread throughout the world. It was not only among the first in history to convert to Christianity – a couple of hundred years later, it may have played a decisive role in the survival of Islam as a religion. Today's episode is about Aksum.
