Ken KingGUEST
And it's about 160-ish years old and still younger than the telephone, not just cell phones, but the actual telephone.
Ken KingGUEST
And it's showing every symptom that historical records of societies collapsing show before the end.
Murray DahmHOST
Mary has asked, we often read that the late Republican early principate Well, there's another one, Principate.
Murray DahmHOST
Roman legionaries wore chainmail armor.
Murray DahmHOST
Often the assumption is made that every man in the ranks was issued a coat of chainmail.
Murray DahmHOST
Knowing that the manufacturer of such armor is very labor-intensive and takes time to make one set, one has to ask, where were the factories and labor force that made enough armor coats to equip the whole legion of soldiers? I would like to hear a discussion of the manufacture of armour for the Roman legions and the auxilia.
Murray DahmHOST
Okay.
Murray DahmHOST
Gosh.
Murray DahmHOST
Those, when they have a campaign coming forward… Probably, when they gather all of the men to see if they're going to go on this campaign, they'll make sure that they've all got the right equipment.
Murray DahmHOST
Probably, wagons, roads, river craft, and fleets are transporting things that are necessary.
Giuseppe CastielloGUEST
... and I try my best to make the steak before other people, you know? So the guest, this is what they want, the guest, that we care about them.

Actually, hospitality is a word we can find in ancient Rome, 2,000 year before Christ.
Giuseppe CastielloGUEST
Host is the, the relation between the guest and the host.
Giuseppe CastielloGUEST
What they do the Roma when they come, the guest, they offer lodging, so not just food and drink.

Sinfonia is Roman imperial architecture with icons on the walls.
Jake BrancatellaGUEST

Jake BrancatellaGUEST
How did it perform? Judge the system by what it did to its own saints.

ChanceHOST
I mean, to me too, it's like, I, I, you know, I majored in history and, uh, Just studying history and studying Rome, it's like you see Rome, and they're a society that crumbled.
ChanceHOST
And you go, well, why did they crumble? Well, historians will say it was a bunch of factors all at once.
ChanceHOST
But to me, maybe the leading factor was that they allowed other groups to sort of come into their society, right? They let them through the gates that they built.

If people are not willing to do their duty, then the country will be taken over by another country ultimately, one way or another.
Jacob Rees-MoggSOUNDBITE_SPEAKER
This is part of the reason that ancient Rome fell, that people were no longer willing to fight for what they believed in.
