Never Enough Rome · century 4 of 13

The Late Republic

133 – 44 BC

Marius, Sulla, Spartacus, Crassus and Cicero; the century Rome ate itself.

Worth your time

35hSpartacus EssentialDrama

Wildly stylised, gleefully bloody, and much smarter about slavery, patronage and Roman social climbing than its reputation suggests. Push through the first few episodes; the show finds itself and then does not let go.

22hDeath Throes of the Republic Hardcore HistoryEssentialPodcast

Six parts and roughly twenty hours on the Republic tearing itself apart, from the Gracchi to Caesar. Carlin is not a historian and says so; what he is, is the best narrator of political collapse working in audio.

3h 17mSpartacus EssentialFilm

Kubrick, Kirk Douglas and a script secretly written by a blacklisted Dalton Trumbo, which is why the slave revolt reads as a labour parable. Still the finest Roman film ever made.

1h 18m702. Roman Civil War: The Barbarian Invasion (Part 2) The Rest Is HistoryPodcast

Holland and Sandbrook on the Cimbri and Teutones smashing into the Republic, and on Marius rebuilding the army to stop them. The moment the legions became loyal to a general rather than the state.
