Episode Synopsis

What happens when a city banishes its kings and bets everything on a new political experiment? In this episode, we trace the birth of the Roman Republic—where power was split between consuls, contested by patricians and plebeians, and written into law with the Twelve Tables. From class conflict to conquests, discover how tension became Rome’s engine of survival—and the blueprint for a system that lasted centuries.
