June 2010 – January 2011

Part One

The wars which elevate Rome to superpower status also sow the seed for the downfall of its political system. Money, slaves, ambition, political stalemate and class warfare prove to be a toxic, bloody mix

Part Two

Disaster threatens the Republic, but the cure might be worse than the disease. “The Dan Carlin version” of this story continues with ambition-addict Marius dominating the story and Plutarch dominating the sources.

Part Three

Rome’s political violence expands in intensity from riots and assassinations to outright war as the hyper-ambitious generals Marius and Sulla tear the Republic and its constitution apart vying for power and glory.

Part Four

Sulla returns to Rome to show the Republic what REAL political violence looks like. Civil war and deadly partisan payback will pave the way for reforms pushed at sword point. Lots of heads will roll…literally.

Part Five

The last great generation of the Roman Republic emerges from the historical mists. The dynamic between Caesar, Cato, Cicero, Crassus and Pompey forms the axis around which the rest of this tale revolves.

Part Six

In a massive finish to the “Dan Carlin version” of the fall of the Roman Republic, conspiracies, civil wars, beatniks of antiquity and a guy named Caesar figure prominently. Virtually everyone dies.

  1. ricecakeonfire

    This series adds a tremendous amount of context to the very limited clip of events that are taught and repeated in American schools. The background story of Julius Caesar adds so much depth to events that he is not just a “power-hungry dictator,” but a product of a society that valued and rewarded the ambitious strong-man types. It has quite literally changed my perspective on these events of history.

    I’ve listened to this series 6 times now and I could easily listen to it again. These episodes inspired me to buy a dozen books on the topic and dig deep into the fall of the Roman republic. Thank you Dan for all the time you put into all your work. It’s truely inspiring.
