After listening to a history of Rome, here are my heroes of the Republican era

[FUCK THE POLICE]

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tiberius_Gracchus

Tiberius Gracchus, glorious hero of the Republic.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gaius_Gracchus

Gaius Gracchus, glorious hero of the Republic.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Julius_Caesar

Julius Caesar, glorious hero of the Republic.

On the list of enemies of the Republic and evil tyrants, there are too many too count. Pretty much everyone who ever served in the Senate, for instance, was an enemy of the Republic and the Roman people. But two figures stand out, Cato the Younger and Sulla, for having ended freedom in the west.

Where can I hear this?

If you actually listened to it, you would know that I was being a teeny bit underhanded here. Although, by my inclusion of Caesar that should be a bit obvious.

Anyway, I downloaded it from a semi-private tracker, but here's a public tracker with it:

http://thepiratebay.se/torrent/3314000/TTC_-_The_History_of_Ancient_Rome

This mainly focuses on the Republican period, and kind of brushes over the Imperial one. There's another course named "Emperors of Rome" that's basically part II, and goes in depth into the Imperial periods:

Together, they're about 45 hours of Roman history. By listening to them, you will be forced to officially relinquish all claims to having a life.

Dude, my netflix top 10 is filled with documentaries.

really happy you are listening to the history of rome man. It's an awesome podcast.

 

[BRUTALITOPS]

oh, thought you were referring specifically to "the history of rome"

whatevs

 

[BRUTALITOPS]

I also suggest Dan Carlins hardcore history, specifically his "Death throes of the Roman Republic," episodes 34-39. Fucking awesome awesome awesome stuff. Guy is a great orator as well.

[FUCK THE POLICE]

Podcasts are for losers.

 

[BRUTALITOPS]

if you don't enjoy what I just linked you, I will ban myself.

 

[FUCK THE POLICE]

Yeah, but the TTC lecture I just linked costs $100 if purchased through legitimate channels. By the laws of capitalism, it is superior.

 

[BRUTALITOPS]

I am going to listen to your stuff as well. But gotta lie low for now because I've gotten my second verizon notice of copyright infringement. fucking assholes. I use like 6 block lists and everything. *sigh*

 

[FUCK THE POLICE]

I've actually never gotten a notice for copyright infringement, even though I have literally tens of thousands of dollars worth of copyrighted material on my hard drive*. Did you get those notices from torrents you had downloaded off of Demonoid? Because I can give you the Demonoid link. Also, you can always do like I did when I was at MS State and buy a private torrent proxy.

*Most of this is Visual Studio Professional edition, which sells for $10k.

I didn't think they actually did anything about copyright violations. I have all sorts of CNC programming stuff, like MasterCAM, and Adobe CS5.

 

[FUCK THE POLICE]

The music industry used to go after people in civil suits, but they quit a few years back. People do often get sent letters requesting that they stop, but little is ever done about it. ISP's, however, may cut you off.

Better not advertise the MasterCAM stuff then. That's worth A LOT of money.

yeah and the other funny thing is a lot of media companies will list their own stuff to be pirated, so they can catch 1% of the people that actually download the content they themselves listed.

I think they say after 3 notices they may cut you off. It's mostly scare tactics and to make it look like they are being proactive. Obv they don't really give a shit about copyright infringement, doesn't effect them. But they gotta play their role

 

[The Dude]

the icehouse chronicles & the naughty 57 show are the best podcast by far, especially the one with rapper Too short and his VC!

Oh very interesting choices.

I'd say my favorites were Sulla and Marius.

I think it was interesting that Ceasar said that Sulla didn't know his political ABC's because he retired from his Dictatorship at the height of his powers and before he could be assured that his reforms would survive. The reason I find that interesting is because Sulla died a natural death in his own bed while Ceasar was assasinated. Maybe Ceasar didn't give Sulla his due?

Good lord. So is mine!

Yes it is. Thank you for turning us on to it. If you like the pod cast I would suggest Colleen McCollough's Masters of Rome series. She covers the Republican period of Rome from the Marian reforms to the ascent of Octavian in pain staking detail. Excellent reads.
