About this listen

History doesn't repeat but it does rhyme. When I graduated in 2011 with a Master's Degree in the Roman Empire, I didn't think I'd be this relevant in 2024. This channel looks at the history of Rome's rise and fall and relates it to the modern day, most closely to what's happening in America. We seek to understand the problems of Rome, recognize their solutions and hopefully preserve our civilization.Jeremy Ryan Slate World
