Throughout the history of the Roman Empire, there were 96 men who are considered to have been Roman Emperors from August to the fall of the western emperor. 

Most of them came to power via being appointed by their predecessor, or through military conquest, or through good old-fashioned scheming and treachery.

However, there was one man, however, who ascended to the title of emperor in a totally unique way.

Learn more about Didius Julianus, and how he became Roman Emperor in an auction, on this episode of Everything Everywhere Daily.

In the mid-19th century, a Hungarian physician advocated for an incredibly simple technique that would go on to save millions of lives. 

However, when he first proposed it, his idea wasn’t just ignored, it was vehemently rejected by the very people who could have used it to save lives. Not only was the idea rejected, but he was ridiculed to a point that might have led to his early death.

In the year 1900, a crew of Greek sponge divers was looking for sponges off the coast of the island of Antikythera. While they were searching, they found the remains of an ancient shipwreck.

The wreck contained over 30 marble statues, pieces of glasswork, one corroded metal object that no one could identify.

75 years later, using new technology, they discovered what that hunk of metal was designed for.

Learn more about the Antikythera Mechanism and how it forever changed our views of the ancient world, on this episode of Everything Everywhere Daily.

In the year 607, the Emperor Yang of the Sui dynasty implemented a reform whereby a series of exams would be administered throughout the empire to create a bureaucratic elite that would administer the country. 

That reform became one of the bedrocks of Chinese society, through every dynasty, for the next 1,300 years. The effects of these exams can still be felt in Chinese society today.

Beginning in the 16th century, French settlers crossed the Atlantic to settle in a new French colony in the new world. That colony wasn’t modern-day Quebec, however. The colony was known as Acadia. 

When the British took control of Acadia in 1713, the Acadians were allowed to stay, but eventually, that privilege was revoked by the British, and those people were scattered to the winds. 

Today, the descendants of the Acadians can still be found all over the world. 

Learn more about Acadia and the Acadian Expulsion on this episode of Everything Everywhere Daily.
