Here's my conversation with Gregory Aldrete, a historian specializing in ancient Rome and military history. We talk all about the Roman Empire: its rise and fall, major battles & leaders, military technology & tactics, gladiators, politics, laws, economy, religion. I will do many more episodes on history (interviews & solo). If we don't understand our past, we are doomed to repeat the same mistakes that many before us have paid a heavy price for.
