66 - Catiline I: Rome's Deadliest Conspiracy 

Me too,.Not a bunch of loud and annoying music ofver the narraration~

Many are saying...

Very hot take: Who put the final nails into the coffin of the Republic; voluntarily or involuntarily? Only one name allowed: Was it Marius or Sulla? Caesar or Cato? Cassius with the conspiracy? - Or, was it even the Father of the Republic himself!?

Notice anyone who attemped to revert rome to a pre usery monoply by a few mobed up cabal ened up dead. Catline, Gracci brothers, Ceaser. Romans and Italians where having thier land seized and turned into large estates worked by slaves. Usury in the cities put a strangle hold on the republic, so bad that even one of Sullas killers pomme could not get his soldiers settled because the mob was diverting the governments land revenue to themselves. People frame tjis mob as elite and traditionslist butbthey where neither most of the resl old famlies where getting wiped out like the Julia family and it was a land revolution to create monster estates xrammed with slaves.

Many thanks! Very soon!

Thanks!

It was very controversial, made him some permanent enemies.

Thanks! words like these keep me going!

I suppose based on the modern designs. The paintings of this event portray it as happening in the Curia too. But this speech happened in the temple of Jupiter Stator (easier to defend from a riot)

Every general is only as good as their subordinates but Labienus is overrated. He shines in Africa and Spain but in Gaul when the revolt started he sat on his ass and let it get out of control. If Caesar was killed in Gaul it would have been because Labienus was unable to assess the situation and take immediate action.

Agreed

Just make sure, to not have an Arminius typ in you Legions😉

I think your answer will depend on what you think of Caesar - was Caesar that different, or was he just much better at playing the game?

History is my therapy
