About this episode

This episode explores the early struggles of the Roman Republic and the legendary story of Coriolanus amidst political turmoil.

We left the last episode with a cliffhanger and this episode is chock full of action, adventure, and narrow escapes! Oh and Barbarians! Dan explains how the Republic nearly dies in its infancy as ordinary Romans abandon the city and refuse military service, the Senate faces a nightmare it cannot solve with armies alone. The result will permanently change Roman politics — and unleash the legendary story of Coriolanus. This is a podcast by Dan Hörning and Bernie Maopolski.
