The creator of the award-winning podcast series, Revolutions of Rome and Revolutions, brought bloody battles, political intrigues and human drama to life, laying the foundation for the fall of the Roman Republic.
The Roman Republic is one of the most outstanding achievements in the history of civilization. Starting from a small city-state in central Italy, Rome gradually expanded into a wider world filled with small tyrants, barbarian chiefs and authoritarian kings. Over the past few centuries, Rome’s model of cooperative and participatory government has remained extremely durable and unparalleled in the history of the ancient world.
In 146 BC, Rome eventually became the strongest force in the Mediterranean. But the Republic’s success proved to be its revocation. The Republican system could not cope with the huge empire that Rome now ruled: the growing inequality undermined traditional lifestyles, popular social and ethnic biases, leading to conflicts over citizenship and voting rights, rampant corruption and ruthless ambitions, inspiring violent political conflicts that were once thoroughly republic-based.
Recording the age of 146-78 BC, the storm before the storm fell into a new political environment in which the first generation faced this dangerous one. Men like Marius, Sura and Gracchi Brothers abandoned their visionary ancient principles and set new examples of danger, habits that would begin the republic on the road to destruction and provide a clear warning of what might happen to lose their civilization.
