Great stuff. I hope everyone takes the time to listen as this piece of history forms the basis of our "modern" way of thinking and being in re: behavioral economics, markets, technology, transportation, classical education (precisely, lack thereof today), warfare, national identity, philosophy, theology, religious ritualistic practices, and the great hubris, vibrating in the psyches of contemporary men and women, which underlies them all.

Very enlightening podcast. It delves much much deeper than any analysis I've been exposed to. He sweeps away long-held myths and dissects Roman Empire into something familiar. Nothing is "taken for granted".
