Ronald Syme

One of my favorite books, um, is called The Roman Revolution.

It's by Dr. Ronald Syme.

And, 'cause I think very oftentimes when people think of civil wars, they think of revolutions, they think of either, you know, the poor rising up or, you know, one party fighting another party.

And the thing that's interesting about this last 100 years of the Republic, and, and Syme details this dramatically, is it's actually precedent breaking.

Well, you could say that.

So there's a book, it was written in 1939 by Dr. Ronald Syme called The Roman Revolution.

And I think if you look at that kind of last hundred years in Rome, any one of those guys could have been Caesar.

It's just kind of like Caesar's able to happen because there's kind of nothing left, no laws left to break at that point in time.

Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah.

So basically, we're finishing this Republic arc, which is going to take us sometime through the end of the year.

And then something I've never seen done, which I'm excited to do it, is actually do a series on the Roman Revolution by Ronald Syme.

So we're gonna spend through March on that.
