The creator of the massively popular, award-winning podcast series The History of Rome brings to life the story of the tumultuous years that set the stage for the fall of the Roman Republic.The Roman Republic was one of the most remarkable achievements in the history of civilization. After its founding in 509 BCE, it grew from an unremarkable Italian city-state to the dominant superpower of the Mediterranean world. Through it all, the Romans never allowed a single man to seize control of the state. Every year for four hundred years, the consuls voluntarily handed power to their successors. It was a run of political self-denial unmatched in the history of the world. But then Rome exploded out of Italy and began to conquer a world filled with petty tyrants, barbarian chieftains, and despotic kings, and the very success of the Republic proved to be its undoing. The republican system was unable to cope with the vast empire Rome ruled. Almost as soon as they had conquered the Mediterranean, Rome became engulfed in violent political conflicts and civil wars that would destroy the Republic less than a century later.The Storm before the Storm tells the story of the beginning of the end of the Roman Republic-the story of the first generation that had to cope with the dangerous new political environment made possible by Rome’s unrivaled domination over the known world. The tumultuous years from 133-80 BCE set the stage for the fall of the Republic as the Romans faced rising economic inequality, dislocation of traditional ways of life, political polarization, the breakdown of unspoken rules of political conduct, the privatization of the military, rampant corruption, endemic social and ethnic prejudice, battles over access to citizenship and voting rights, and a set of elites so obsessed with their own privileges that they refused to reform the system in time to save it-a situation that draws many parallels to present-day America. And as we all know, those who do not learn from history are doomed to repeat it.

The Roman Republic lasted about 480 years. The US has been around for about 240 years but in the last Presidential Election I’ve seen the stirrings of the things that cause Democracy fail. The erosion of institutions that are at the root of a Democracy. Free press and faith in the electoral process. We have CNN and The NY Times banned from the White House Press room and Trump was questioning the election results before the vote was even cast and the mindless minions that support him were very accepting of this behavior. Stupidity is a virtue with these people. Anytime they hear something they don’t like, it’s Fake News.

If you listened to or read the book, the author specifically states not to compare the USA to Rome. But some people can’t help themselves, can they?
If you want to compare the USA to a defunct dynasty, go with Carthage.
CNN and Hillary acolytes created “Fake News” and President Trump used their own monster against them, many such instances.

‘CNN and Hillary acolytes created “Fake News”’
If you believe that you’re in dire need of learning history.
Fake news has been around since the very first town crier & the first royal chronicler.
Typical for an American. So many of you think & act like y’all invented everything including oxygen & water.
I could spend all week listing the inventions & firsts Americans have misattributed to themselves. It’s not enough that y’all invented a ton of stuff and had a great many firsts - you want it all. Is that greed? Insecurity? Both? Pigs.
