About This Episode:
Join Roman history experts, Jeremy Ryan Slate and guest Alex Petkas, as they uncover the turbulent history of ancient Rome, exploring the rise of populism and political power struggles.
Dive into the lives of Tiberius and Gaius Gracchus, Marius, Sulla, and Julius Caesar, and see how their quests for wealth, land reform, and influence triggered civil wars and the eventual fall of the Roman Republic.
Discover the events that set the stage for the powerful Roman Empire!
Through a unique perspective, we uncover how the quest for wealth, land redistribution, and citizenship reform led to seismic shifts in Roman society, ultimately paving the way for the rise of the Roman Empire.
Our return guest, Alex Petkas, provides a PhD-level analysis that challenges mainstream narratives and offers fresh insights into these historical events.
This must-watch episode is perfect for history enthusiasts and those interested in drawing parallels with modern political dynamics.
