from Historical Projects · host David Jenkins

“It’s the story of how Ancient Rome built one of the mostsophisticated, high‑fidelity minting systems the world had ever seen — and how, over centuries, that system fractured…”Step into Historical Projects, the community podcast where engineering, leadership, and human stories meet. In this upcoming episode, we explore one of history’s most surprising project failures: how Rome’s brilliantly engineeredminting system — once a model of precision, consistency, and trust — slowly unravelled into the chaotic, inconsistent coinage of the Medieval era.Host David introduces the episode’s central question: Whathappens when technical standards collapse, quality control disappears, and scope creep quietly corrodes a system from within? With our guest, Phil Bangerter— an engineer and sustainability leader—we discuss the leadershiplessons hidden within this dramatic transition.From Roman discipline to Medieval improvisation, this trailer gives listeners a taste of the engineering marvels, leadership insights, and human consequences behind one of history’s most overlooked project stories.Follow the show and get ready for the full episode.
