The Roman period is one of the most interesting eras of all time, and I love going there - there’s always something new (old stuff) to see.
am halfway through … the years 100 BC to 100 AD put current politics into perspective: the personalities and motivations are the same, the only real difference I see is that far fewer persons get their heads (literally) chopped off.
And “civil war” is now conducted on teevee, woohoo!
anyway, amazing podcast.
