Ep#120 The Ancients: The Romans

In this episode of the Professor Liberty Podcast, Mr. Palumbo kicks off a new series called "The Ancients" with a look at the Romans. Our host explores how its geographic advantages, such as its strategic location along the Tiber River and the Seven Hills, contributed to its rise. Through the lens of the founding myth of Romulus and Remus, the episode highlights Rome's success, driven by diplomacy, military excellence, and pragmatic governance. Mr. Palumbo examines how Rome's ability to form alliances, adapt its military tactics, and adjust its political structures allowed it to thrive and dominate for over a thousand years, shaping much of the modern western world.
