The Rise of a New Man and the Trial of Roscius. Guest Author: Josiah Osgood. Marcus Tullius Cicero was born into a non-elite family in 106 BCE, making him a "new man" in the Roman Republic. Rising through the political ranks required winning elections that were typically controlled by a small group of powerful families. Cicero gained fame as a masterful orator and defense attorney by navigating the Roman criminal courts, which were often used to target corrupt politicians. These trials were held in the public forum to allow citizens to see justice being served. In his debut criminal case, a thirty-year-old Cicero defended a man named Roscius against a charge of parricide. Parricide was considered a uniquely dreadful crime by the Romans, punishable by being sewn into a sack with animals and cast into the sea. Cicero functioned as his own private detective, investigating the facts behind the prosecution's claims. He discovered that a group had taken advantage of the elder Roscius's death to seize his property for a low sum. By telling a compelling story and asking "cui bono"—who stands to gain—Cicero successfully argued that his client had been framed. This high-stakes victory established his reputation and demonstrated his ability to use the courtroom as a stage for political advancement. 1CARTHAGE
The Defeat of Verres Through Storytelling. Guest Author: Josiah Osgood. In 70 BCE, Cicero prosecuted Verres in a trial that showcased his masterful use of storytelling and emotional appeal. Rather than overwhelming the jury with complex financial data about embezzlement, Cicero created a vivid image of Verres as a negligent leader. He recounted how Verres ignored his duties during a pirate raid on Syracuse, choosing instead to party with local women in seaside tents. This narrative portrayed Verres as living large at the expense of the Roman citizens he was meant to defend. Overwhelmed by the evidence and the public outcry, Verres defaulted mid-trial and fled Rome. Although he was found guilty, his punishment was merely exile to Marseilles, where he was allowed to keep much of his stolen art. For the Romans, losing citizenship and political rights was considered a severe fate, though it seems mild by modern standards. This victory propelled Cicero's political career as he sought the office of consul. The election process of the time mirrors modern participation, with citizens urged to vote on the Field of Mars. 3CARTHAGE
The Bona Dea Scandal and the Creation of a Lifelong Foe. Guest Author: Josiah Osgood. Despite his careful rise to power, Cicero made a significant error during the aftermath of the Catiline conspiracy. He arrested five high-ranking collaborators who had remained in Rome to facilitate a coup. Cicero, feeling invincible after his recent successes, pushed for these men to be executed as traitors to the republic. He argued that by conspiring against Rome, they had forfeited their rights as citizens and should be treated as public enemies. However, executing Roman citizens without a trial was a major legal taboo. Julius Caesar, then a rising politician, offered a more prudent alternative: life imprisonment. Cicero ignored this advice and moved forward with the executions, a decision that the Senate endorsed but for which Cicero bore ultimate responsibility. While he initially gloated about his actions, the move eventually aroused populist opposition and made him a political target. This mistake was followed by the Bona Dea scandal of 62 BCE, where Cicero testified against Publius Clodius Pulcher, breaking his alibi and turning the young aristocrat into a dangerous, lifelong enemy. 51910 CARTHAGE
The Homeric Question and Epic Tradition. Guest: Professor Emily Wilson. The identity of Homer remains a subject of intense scholarly debate, as the Iliad emerged from a long oral tradition that existed before the return of literacy to Greece in the 8th century BCE. For centuries, performing poets developed stories of heroes like Achilles and Agamemnon, using dactylic hexameter to aid memory and performance. The Iliad is a monumental written poem that takes a sophisticated approach to these familiar tales, often subverting expectations. Interestingly, it omits many "famous hits" like the Trojan Horse, the judgment of Paris, and the actual fall of Troy. Instead, it focuses on a mere month and a half of the ten-year war, centering on internal Greek conflict rather than just a battle against Trojans. Wilson notes that while she translates the work into iambic pentameter to capture its drive, the poem itself possesses the narrative complexity of a modern novel, utilizing techniques like shifting perspectives and narrator omniscience. She also mentions lost epic poems like the Cypria, which provided more backstory on Zeus's plan to reduce the human population through war. 2
The Rise of the Dionysian Dynasty in Syracuse. Guest Author: Professor James Romm. Syracuse, a Corinthian colony, rose to power under Dionysius the Elder during the 4th century BCE. Starting as a clerk, he became a demagogue by attacking elite leaders accused of collaborating with Carthage. He fortified "the island," a strategic peninsula with a natural spring, to secure his power. Dionysius broke Greek custom by adopting Persian-style polygamy, marrying Doris and Aristomache on one day to appear superhuman. This created rival lineages that sparked future civil conflict. The court was famous for "Syracuse tables," characterized by excessive luxury and wine. Dionysius died in 367 BCE, with rumors suggesting he was poisoned. 1
Plato's Intellectual Roots and First Visit. Guest Author: Professor James Romm. Plato's early life was shaped by the reign of the 30 Tyrants in Athens, including his relative Critias. The execution of his teacher, Socrates, further disillusioned him with traditional democracy. He developed a philosophy centered on an unseen world of perfect "forms." Influenced by Pythagorean mathematics, he viewed numbers as a way to understand the universe's abstract essences. Invited by Dion, Plato visited Syracuse in 385 BCE to explore potential autocratic reforms. This visit failed when Dionysius the Elder dismissed his ethical teachings. Plato then returned to Athens to found the Academy. 2
Astrologers Chris Brennan and Patrick Watson explore the ancient timing technique known as Babylonian goal year periods, which can be used to identify repeating transits and events over very long spans of time. Recovered from the astronomical diaries of Mesopotamian sky watchers in the first millennium BCE, these periods demonstrate how the visible planets repeat their exact zodiacal placements and phase relationships with the Sun over predictable intervals. Our discussion breaks down the math behind these synodic cycles and highlights how repetition is the ultimate key to prediction in both mundane and natal astrology. By examining compelling historical case studies for each of the traditional planets, from the 1929 Wall Street Crash to major breakthroughs in modern communication technology, we show how tracking these ancient cycles allows astrologers to identify profound historical recurrences and project future events with stunning accuracy.

Recently, a hot-pink flier advertising a party caught the eye of Uniquely Milwaukee guest host Rachel Tarby. It was for Venus Social Club, an organization that hosts events specifically for the sapphic community.If you're not familiar with the term, the word “sapphic” traces back to Sappho, the Greek lyric poet who lived on the island of Lesbos around 600 BCE and was known for writing about her desire/love for other women. Thousands of years later, sapphic is a common term for women who love women.“I feel like in Milwaukee we had no sapphic spaces,” Venus Social Club founder Mya Goetsch said. “Well, we had some … but [not] specifically party ones, and I want to go party with all lesbians and queer people all the time, not just on Pride.”Goetsch created the organization in November of 2024, somewhat by accident. What was meant to be a small house party turned into a big sapphic celebration. Since then, Venus Social Club has hosted many events across the city — from yoga to barbecues to, of course, themed dance parties.In this episode, Tarby takes you inside one of those events and talks with the people who were searching for a space exactly like this in Milwaukee.#####Guest host: Rachel Tarby.Uniquely Milwaukee is made possible by the support of our Radio Milwaukee members.
Discover the real Atlantis in this deep dive into Plato's Timaeus and Critias. Jason Quitt unveils how the fall of the Pole Star in 9,600 BCE matches the "destruction" of the lost city.Video Episode: https://youtu.be/qahzHZ5JG_oFor thousands of years people have searched for the lost city of Atlantis, scouring the ocean floor and the far corners of the earth for a sunken continent, but what if Atlantis was never a place at all? In this episode, returning guest Jason Quitt joins Chance to unveil the central thesis of his brand new book, The Shining Island, in the very first long-form conversation recorded about it. Together they walk through Plato's two Atlantis dialogues, the Timaeus and the Critias, and make the case that the entire story is a celestial allegory, a creation myth written in the stars. The destruction of Atlantis, dated by Plato to 9,600 BCE, lines up with a moment when there was no pole star to guide humanity. This is a deep, dense, and genuinely mind-expanding conversation about the oldest story ever told, the story of the stars.Remote Biofield Tuning sessions with Chance are available via Zoom.

Sennacherib is remembered as one of the most powerful kings of the Neo-Assyrian Empire, but his greatest legacy may not have been conquest. It was Nineveh: a rebuilt imperial capital of canals, gardens, temples, walls, lamassu, and the famous Palace Without Rival.In this episode of Oldest Stories, we look at Sennacherib's engineering innovations and his massive transformation of Nineveh in the late 8th and early 7th centuries BCE. Unlike many earlier Assyrian kings, Sennacherib did not focus primarily on expanding the borders of the empire. Instead, he poured the wealth, labor, and power of Assyria into construction, urban planning, waterworks, palace architecture, royal gardens, and monumental art.We explore the building of the Palace Without Rival, the reshaping of Nineveh's streets and walls, the canal systems that watered the city, the possible connection between Assyrian royal gardens and later stories of the Hanging Gardens, and the way Sennacherib used architecture to express kingship, divine favor, imperial control, and personal ambition.This is the story of an Assyrian king who turned the machinery of empire toward building one of the most impressive cities of the ancient world.Music from the show: oldeststories.net/music (or search "Oldest Stories Music")Support the show:Books: https://a.co/d/7Wn4jhSDonate: oldeststories.netPatreon / YouTube members get bonus episodes: patreon.com/JamesBleckleyNo-AI readings of ancient texts: youtube.com/@osnightreading
I had the privilege of speaking with writer Samantha Ellis about her deeply moving new book, Always Carry Salt: A Memoir of Preserving Language and Culture (Pegasus Books, 2026). Our discussion explored not only the story of a disappearing language, but also the broader questions of memory, identity, and what it means to inherit a fragile cultural legacy. At the heart of Ellis's book is Judeo-Iraqi Arabic—also known as Baghdadi Jewish Arabic or Hakimalna—a language once spoken by the Jews of Iraq. Rich with layers of Hebrew and Judeo-Babylonian Aramaic, it reflects over two millennia of Jewish life in the region. Today, however, it stands on the brink of extinction. As Ellis shared, a language is considered endangered when it is no longer passed on to children, and Judeo-Iraqi Arabic may have only about a thousand speakers remaining worldwide. Within a generation, it could fall silent. Ellis described a powerful turning point in her own awareness: a casual question from another parent about why she was not sending her son to a nursery that spoke “her language.” Her spontaneous response—“my language is dead”—became the catalyst for the journey that led to this book. That moment captures the quiet grief of linguistic loss, but also the urgency of preservation. Our conversation traced the long arc of Iraqi Jewish history, beginning with the Babylonian exile in 597 BCE. Iraqi Jews lived in the region long before the arrival of Arabic, shifting over centuries from Hebrew to Aramaic and later to Arabic, while preserving distinctive linguistic features from earlier eras. This layered history lives on in the language itself. Yet the mass departures of Iraqi Jews in the mid-20th century—particularly the 1950–51 airlift—fractured this continuity. Today, only a handful of Jews remain in Iraq. And yet, as Ellis emphasized, culture does not disappear all at once. Language may fade, but other forms of transmission endure. Food, in particular, becomes a powerful vessel of memory. Ellis initially resisted including recipes in her book, but came to understand that cooking is itself a kind of language—a sensory bridge to the past. The image of her mother carrying three rolling pins from Iraq is emblematic of this continuity: tangible objects that hold intangible heritage. Even the book's title gesture—“always carry salt”—evokes protective practices familiar across Mizrahi communities, small rituals that encode belief, memory, and identity. We also discussed the remarkable story of the Iraqi Jewish Archive, discovered in 2003 in the flooded basement of Saddam Hussein's secret police headquarters. The archive contains hundreds of thousands of documents—school records, letters, communal registers—offering an intimate portrait of everyday Jewish life in Iraq. Today, innovative projects are using AI to transcribe and translate these materials across multiple scripts, making them accessible to descendants and scholars alike. Yet the archive's ultimate fate remains uncertain, raising complex questions about ownership, memory, and cultural restitution. A particularly resonant theme in our conversation was Ellis's struggle with authenticity. As a second-generation Iraqi Jew raised in the UK, she grappled with whether she had the “right” to tell this story, especially without having visited Iraq herself. Her resolution—to be “authentic to me”—offers an important model for thinking about diasporic identity. Preservation, she suggests, does not require perfect replication. It allows for adaptation, creativity, even reinvention. One can honor tradition while also “messing with it,” whether by adjusting a recipe or reimagining inherited practices. Ellis introduces a beautiful concept she calls “milk language”—the language absorbed in early childhood, through intimacy and care, even if it is not the dominant language of one's environment. This idea invites us to reconsider how language lives within us, not only as a tool of communication but as a carrier of emotional and cultural memory. As an educator, I was especially struck by Ellis's closing insight and her implicit call to action: to speak with our elders while we still can. There is a profound difference between hearing fragments of family stories in childhood and sitting down, as an adult, to listen fully and intentionally. These conversations do more than preserve history; they create connection, continuity, and a deeper sense of self. Always Carry Salt is not only a memoir. It is an invitation—to remember, to document, and to carry forward what might otherwise be lost. In a time when so many cultural threads are at risk of unraveling, Ellis's work reminds us that preservation begins with attention, with curiosity, and with the willingness to listen.

This layered history lives on in the language itself. Yet the mass departures of Iraqi Jews in the mid-20th century—particularly the 1950–51 airlift—fractured this continuity. Today, only a handful of Jews remain in Iraq. And yet, as Ellis emphasized, culture does not disappear all at once. Language may fade, but other forms of transmission endure. Food, in particular, becomes a powerful vessel of memory. Ellis initially resisted including recipes in her book, but came to understand that cooking is itself a kind of language—a sensory bridge to the past. The image of her mother carrying three rolling pins from Iraq is emblematic of this continuity: tangible objects that hold intangible heritage. Even the book's title gesture—“always carry salt”—evokes protective practices familiar across Mizrahi communities, small rituals that encode belief, memory, and identity. We also discussed the remarkable story of the Iraqi Jewish Archive, discovered in 2003 in the flooded basement of Saddam Hussein's secret police headquarters. The archive contains hundreds of thousands of documents—school records, letters, communal registers—offering an intimate portrait of everyday Jewish life in Iraq. Today, innovative projects are using AI to transcribe and translate these materials across multiple scripts, making them accessible to descendants and scholars alike. Yet the archive's ultimate fate remains uncertain, raising complex questions about ownership, memory, and cultural restitution. A particularly resonant theme in our conversation was Ellis's struggle with authenticity. As a second-generation Iraqi Jew raised in the UK, she grappled with whether she had the “right” to tell this story, especially without having visited Iraq herself. Her resolution—to be “authentic to me”—offers an important model for thinking about diasporic identity. Preservation, she suggests, does not require perfect replication. It allows for adaptation, creativity, even reinvention. One can honor tradition while also “messing with it,” whether by adjusting a recipe or reimagining inherited practices. Ellis introduces a beautiful concept she calls “milk language”—the language absorbed in early childhood, through intimacy and care, even if it is not the dominant language of one's environment. This idea invites us to reconsider how language lives within us, not only as a tool of communication but as a carrier of emotional and cultural memory. As an educator, I was especially struck by Ellis's closing insight and her implicit call to action: to speak with our elders while we still can. There is a profound difference between hearing fragments of family stories in childhood and sitting down, as an adult, to listen fully and intentionally. These conversations do more than preserve history; they create connection, continuity, and a deeper sense of self. Always Carry Salt is not only a memoir. It is an invitation—to remember, to document, and to carry forward what might otherwise be lost. In a time when so many cultural threads are at risk of unraveling, Ellis's work reminds us that preservation begins with attention, with curiosity, and with the willingness to listen.

I had the privilege of speaking with writer Samantha Ellis about her deeply moving new book, Always Carry Salt: A Memoir of Preserving Language and Culture (Pegasus Books, 2026). Our discussion explored not only the story of a disappearing language, but also the broader questions of memory, identity, and what it means to inherit a fragile cultural legacy. At the heart of Ellis's book is Judeo-Iraqi Arabic—also known as Baghdadi Jewish Arabic or Hakimalna—a language once spoken by the Jews of Iraq. Rich with layers of Hebrew and Judeo-Babylonian Aramaic, it reflects over two millennia of Jewish life in the region. Today, however, it stands on the brink of extinction. As Ellis shared, a language is considered endangered when it is no longer passed on to children, and Judeo-Iraqi Arabic may have only about a thousand speakers remaining worldwide. Within a generation, it could fall silent. Ellis described a powerful turning point in her own awareness: a casual question from another parent about why she was not sending her son to a nursery that spoke “her language.” Her spontaneous response—“my language is dead”—became the catalyst for the journey that led to this book. That moment captures the quiet grief of linguistic loss, but also the urgency of preservation.

The sins of the fathers! It's a phrase you've heard a thousand times, but did you know it comes straight from the Bible? This week it's Bible versus Bible, and the topic is generational punishment: God visiting the iniquity of the parents upon the children to the third and fourth generation. It's in the Ten Commandments. And the other Ten Commandments. So what did those poor great-grandkids do to deserve it? And how do you square that with a God who's "slow to anger and abounding in steadfast love"? Then, is it canon? This week's contender has more names than a witness protection program: Sirach, Ben Sira, Ecclesiasticus. It came closer than almost any book to making the Jewish canon, written in Hebrew around 180 BCE and translated into Greek by the author's own grandson. So why'd it get left out? The author made one fatal mistake: he was honest about who he was and when he wrote it. The guys who lied about being ancient prophets? They made the cut. ---- Follow us on the various social media places: https://www.instagram.com/dataoverdogmapod/ https://www.facebook.com/DataOverDogmaPod https://www.tiktok.com/@data.over.dogma.pod Have you ordered Dan McClellan's New York Times bestselling book The Bible Says So yet???

En Capital Intereconomía, la Tertulia de Mercados reúne a Víctor Asensi, Country Head para España y Latam de DPAM; María Zamora, Client Director de GAM Investments; Sébastien Senegas, responsable para Iberia y Latam de Edmond de Rothschild Asset Management; y Álvaro Antón, Country Head para Iberia de Aberdeen Investments. La conversación estará marcada por el esperado debut bursátil de SpaceX y las implicaciones que puede tener para el conjunto del mercado. Analizaremos si la operación refuerza el atractivo del sector tecnológico, cómo está influyendo la inteligencia artificial en las carteras y qué áreas ofrecen actualmente las mejores oportunidades de inversión. Más allá de los grandes nombres del sector, debatiremos sobre dónde sigue existiendo valor en tecnología y cómo seleccionar compañías en un entorno de valoraciones exigentes. La tertulia también abordará los principales riesgos que preocupan a los gestores internacionales. Desde la evolución de la inflación y las tensiones geopolíticas hasta la sostenibilidad del crecimiento económico global y el comportamiento de los mercados tras varios años de fuerte concentración en unos pocos sectores y compañías. Otro de los focos estará en la política monetaria. Analizaremos las perspectivas para los tipos de interés en Estados Unidos y Europa, las expectativas sobre los próximos movimientos de la Reserva Federal y del BCE y cómo construir carteras de renta fija en un entorno donde los rendimientos vuelven a ofrecer oportunidades, pero la incertidumbre sigue siendo elevada. Terminamos la hora con el análisis de preapertura de los mercados junto a Patricia García, socia fundadora de MacroYield y directora del Máster en Finanzas de ESIC Business & Marketing School, que repasará las principales referencias económicas y financieras que marcarán la sesión.

Rassegna stampa economico-finanziaria del 13 Giugno 2026, strutturata per macro-temi e basata sulle principali testate giornalistiche nazionali.Mercati, BCE e debito pubblicoTestate: Il Sole 24 Ore / Il Foglio / La Verità / La Stampa* Piazza Affari aggiorna i massimi: Il Sole 24 Ore segnala un ritorno dell'ottimismo sui mercati e un nuovo record per la Borsa italiana. Il messaggio positivo è che, nonostante tensioni geopolitiche e tassi elevati, il mercato continua a premiare utili, banche e solidità del sistema Italia.* BCE ancora vigile sui tassi: più testate discutono la possibilità di una nuova stretta. La linea prevalente è che Francoforte non considera chiusa la partita inflazione. Per imprese e famiglie questo significa credito ancora selettivo, ma anche maggiore disciplina finanziaria.* BTP Italia: cedola minima all'1,6%: Il Sole 24 Ore evidenzia che il nuovo BTP Italia parte da una cedola reale minima dell'1,6%, poi indicizzata all'inflazione. È un dato interessante per il risparmio prudente: rendimento reale più protezione dal carovita.Geopolitica, energia e difesaTestate: Corriere della Sera / Repubblica / La Stampa / Il Giornale / Il Foglio* Iran-USA, intesa vicina ma fragile: Corriere, Repubblica, La Stampa, Il Giornale e Il Foglio convergono sul negoziato tra Washington e Teheran. I nodi sono tre: nucleare, riapertura dello Stretto di Hormuz e fondi iraniani congelati. KPI rilevanti: arricchimento dell'uranio al 90%, circa 24 miliardi di dollari di fondi bloccati e impatto diretto sui prezzi energetici.* Hormuz resta il rischio principale per petrolio e gas: la riapertura dello stretto ridurrebbe il premio al rischio sull'energia. Per le imprese europee sarebbe una notizia positiva: minore pressione sui costi industriali e sulle filiere energivore.* Nato e difesa europea: Repubblica segnala il possibile ritiro di circa un terzo dei caccia USA dall'Europa, con riduzione da 150 a 100 velivoli F-16 e F-35 e degli aerei da ricognizione da 26 a 15. La Verità richiama invece la riforma italiana della Difesa con 40.000 soldati in più entro il 2033.Fisco, casa e regolazione europeaTestate: Il Messaggero / La Stampa / Italia Oggi / Milano Finanza / Repubblica / Il Tempo* Affitti giovani, IVA verso il 5%: Il Messaggero riporta il lavoro del governo per dimezzare l'IVA sugli affitti per i giovani, dal 10% al 5%. È una misura potenzialmente positiva per mobilità abitativa, studenti e giovani lavoratori.* Patrimoniale al centro del dibattito: La Stampa, Il Tempo, Italia Oggi e Milano Finanza trattano il tema da angolazioni diverse. Il Tempo cita la soglia oltre 500.000 euro. Il punto economico è chiaro: tassare stock patrimoniali rischia di incidere su fiducia, immobili e capitali, ma il tema redistributivo resta politicamente sensibile.* CBAM, Bruxelles rafforza la tassa sul carbonio alle frontiere: Repubblica segnala il rafforzamento dello “scudo” europeo contro prodotti importati da Paesi con standard climatici più bassi. Settori coinvolti: acciaio, alluminio, cemento, fertilizzanti, elettricità e idrogeno. Dal punto di vista industriale è una tutela per le imprese europee, ma può aumentare costi e burocrazia.Banche, credito e infrastrutture finanziarieTestate: Milano Finanza / Il Foglio / Repubblica / Il Sole 24 Ore* Consolidamento bancario, decide il mercato: Milano Finanza intervista Salvatore Rossi: la vera sfida non è solo aggregarsi, ma ragionare da europei. Il messaggio per il settore è positivo: le banche italiane entrano nella fase di consolidamento da posizioni patrimoniali più solide rispetto al passato.* Risiko bancario tra Siena e Trieste: Il Foglio ricostruisce rivalità e strategie nel sistema bancario. Il tema industriale resta la scala: più dimensione, più capacità di competere su credito, tecnologia e risparmio gestito.* Borsa Italiana corregge la governance con ok Consob: Repubblica segnala il via libera della Consob agli aggiustamenti di governance. È un passaggio tecnico, ma rilevante per trasparenza e funzionamento del mercato.Industria, infrastrutture, agricoltura e AITestate: Il Sole 24 Ore / Repubblica / Italia Oggi / Milano Finanza / Il Fatto Quotidiano* Agricoltura italiana a 80 miliardi: Italia Oggi evidenzia il valore del settore agricolo nazionale, pari a 80 miliardi di euro. È una notizia positiva: l'agroalimentare resta una piattaforma industriale strategica, non solo un comparto tradizionale.* Piano casa, Demanio, Terzo settore e Sace: Il Sole 24 Ore segnala l'apertura del piano casa a nuovi attori. La lettura business è favorevole: più soggetti coinvolti può significare più capacità di esecuzione, soprattutto se si mobilita capitale privato.* Cyber e AI nella PA: Il Sole 24 Ore scrive che la protezione cyber va verso DIS e Difesa, lasciando all'Agenzia la funzione regolatoria. Italia Oggi segnala invece che nella PA l'AI viene già usata “sotto traccia”. Milano Finanza propone integrazioni alla regolazione AI. Il tema è centrale: produttività sì, ma con governance chiara.Lavoro, capitale umano e formazioneTestate: Il Messaggero / Il Foglio / Il Fatto Quotidiano* Occupazione record: nove laureati su dieci scelgono l'Italia: Il Messaggero dà una lettura positiva del mercato del lavoro qualificato. Il dato chiave è forte: 9 laureati su 10 restano o scelgono l'Italia.È un segnale utile per imprese e investitori, perché riduce il rischio di fuga del capitale umano.* PIL debole, lavoro forte: Il Foglio mette in evidenza il paradosso italiano: crescita modesta ma occupazione resiliente. Per le aziende significa domanda interna non esplosiva, ma mercato del lavoro più robusto di quanto spesso si racconti.* Scuola e AI: Il Fatto Quotidiano segnala l'ingresso dell'intelligenza artificiale nella scuola. Il punto manageriale è la formazione: senza competenze diffuse, l'AI resta tecnologia, non produttività.

Welcome back to Rome's rebuilding era! It's a year of reasserting dominance, crafting fancy hewn stones for building works, and getting the citizen body back in order. Camillus in TriumphAfter seemingly managing to defeat three of Rome's enemies at once, Camillus was back in Rome, basking in his glory. Unfortunately, his success seems to have meant a life in slavery for many of the conquered people. Camillus auctioned these prisoners off, using the proceeds to pay back the Roman matrons and buy the city some gold bowls, engraved with his name.Citizens of RomeThe Romans were trying to get back to business as usual after the Gallic sack. This involved granting citizenship to any people who had switched sides during the conflicts of the past decade or so. Welcome to the cleerrrb. There were also some reluctant Roman citizens still hanging out in Veii, and that just would not do. The senate issued a decree ordering them back to Rome – OR ELSE. Renovating RomeThe Romans had to do some rebuilding after the Gallic sack, as we know, but why not make some improvements whilst they were at it? Livy records that the Capitol was given a substructure of hewn stone, which he thought was still impressive in his own time. Spiteful SkirmishesNever a city that revels in peace, the Romans decided to attack some of the people who had tried to take advantage of their moment of weakness in 390 BCE. The Aequians and some Etruscan towns found themselves the victims of sudden assaults. Payback is a bitch! Our Players - 388 BCEMilitary Tribunes with Consular Power T. Quinctius (T. f. L. n.)

Lavoro in aumento ma stipendi in calo per i laureati italianiPiù occupati rispetto a un anno fa, ma meno retribuiti. Con un vantaggio lavorativo e stipendiale che privilegia i laureati rispetto alle laureate e i residenti al Centro-Nord invece che al Sud. È questa, in estrema sintesi, la fotografia che emerge dal XXVIII Rapporto AlmaLaurea su Laurea e Occupazione presentato all università della Basilicata durante il convegno dal titolo Efficacia della formazione universitaria .Nel complesso, le due rilevazioni hanno coinvolto, per i percorsi di laurea, quasi 335 mila persone che hanno completato gli studi nel 2025 in 81 atenei aderenti al Consorzio, e quasi 700mila per gli esiti occupazionali, intervistati a uno, tre e cinque anni dal conseguimento del titolo. Il tasso occupazionale dei laureati è in aumento. A un anno arriva all 81,2% tra chi ha conseguito una laurea di primo livello e all 80,8% nel secondo livello (in crescita, rispettivamente, di +2,6 e +2,2 punti rispetto alla rilevazione precedente). A cinque anni dalla laurea l occupazione tocca il 91,7% nel primo livello, contro il 92,8 per cento del 2024. Nel secondo livello si arriva al 94,4%, che è il valore più alto dell ultimo quindicennio e rappresenta un miglioramento del 4,7% rispetto ai 12 mesi precedenti. Parallelamente, il tasso di disoccupazione a un anno cala al 9,2% nel primo livello e al 9,3% nel secondo. A cinque anni dal titolo la disoccupazione precipita fino al 2,6 per cento. Lo stesso segno positivo registrato sul fronte del lavoro non si registra però sugli stipendi. A un anno dalla laurea la retribuzione mensile netta è in media di 1.491 euro nel primo livello e 1.495 nel secondo; al netto dell inflazione, le retribuzioni reali sono risultate in lieve calo nell ultimo anno (rispettivamente -1,4% e -0,9%). Dopo cinque anni per fortuna il quadro migliora. La retribuzione mensile netta è pari a 1.796 euro per i laureati di primo livello e a 1.903 euro per quelli di secondo livello. Con un aumento dell 1,6% per questi ultimi e una sostanziale stabilità per i primi. Ne parliamo con Massimo Baldini, docente di Scienza delle Finanze presso l'Università di Modena e Reggio EmiliaLa Bce alza costo denaro di 25 punti base Dopo 13 mesi fermi al 2%, i tassi d interesse nell area dell euro sono tornati a salire oggi dello 0,25%, a distanza di un anno esatto dall ultimo taglio. Il tasso sui depositi presso la Bce, mediante il quale il Consiglio direttivo orienta la politica monetaria, passerà dal 2% - livello sul quale è rimasto per 12 mesi- al 2,25 per cento. Come si legge nel comunicato, «Il Consiglio direttivo si impegna a definire la politica monetaria in modo da assicurare che l inflazione si stabilizzi sull obiettivo del 2% a medio termine. In linea con questo impegno ha deciso oggi di innalzare di 25 punti base i tre tassi di interesse di riferimento della Bce. Il conflitto in Medio Oriente sta generando pressioni inflazionistiche e la decisione di aumentare i tassi è solida rispetto a una serie di scenari che delineano come lo shock potrebbe evolvere e incidere sulle prospettive di medio termine per l area dell euro». In conferenza stampa la presidente della Bce Christine Lagarde ha dichiarato: "La decisione che abbiamo preso non è una decisione drastica": un aumento di 25 punti base dei tassi "è una decisione che, chiaramente, invia un segnale ed è necessaria data la situazione economica in cui ci troviamo, l'incertezza che stiamo affrontando, le prospettive inflazionistiche e le proiezioni elaborate dall'Eurosistema". Lagarde ha anche aggiunto: Con una crescita 2026 rivista allo 0,8% da 0,9% precedente "non è che ci troviamo in un contesto in cui la crescita manca o sia minacciata in modo significativo". Lagarde ha citato "i numeri che abbiamo, le prospettive inflazionistiche, i rischi al rialzo sull'inflazione, la solidità della decisione in tutti gli scenari quello negativo, quello molto negativo e quello meno negativo e il fatto che questa decisione regga in tutte le circostanze". Lagarde ha ricordato che per la crescita "si può fare molto di più attraverso riforme strutturali, favorendo un mercato europeo senza ostacoli al commercio, l'unione dei risparmi e degli investimenti e così via". Approfondiamo il tema con Franco Bruni, presidente dell'Ispi e professore emerito del dipartimento di Economia dell'Università Bocconi.Fabi, su Mps priorità alla tutela a lavoratori e professionalità"Le eventuali evoluzioni degli assetti societari che riguardino il Monte dei Paschi di Siena non possono prescindere dalla tutela dell'occupazione, delle professionalità e delle condizioni di lavoro delle lavoratrici e dei lavoratori del Gruppo". Così lunedì il coordinatore Fabi del Gruppo Monte dei Paschi di Siena, Guido Fasano, circa le operazioni che riguardano il settore bancario e coinvolgono Mps. "Le lavoratrici e i lavoratori di Mps - aggiunge - hanno contribuito in modo determinante al rilancio e alla stabilizzazione della banca e rappresentano un patrimonio di competenze e professionalità che deve essere valorizzato e preservato. Riteniamo fondamentale salvaguardare l'integrità del Monte dei Paschi di Siena, la sua identità storica, il suo radicamento nei territori e il valore economico e sociale che continua a rappresentare per il Paese. Qualsiasi progetto futuro dovrà riconoscere e tutelare questo patrimonio, evitando che logiche esclusivamente finanziarie ne compromettano il valore industriale, occupazionale e territoriale. Per questo riteniamo indispensabile un confronto costante con le organizzazioni sindacali, il cui ruolo resta centrale per governare ogni possibile ricaduta sull'occupazione, sull'organizzazione del lavoro e sulle prospettive professionali delle lavoratrici e dei lavoratori. La Fabi continuerà a seguire con la massima attenzione l'evoluzione della situazione, per garantire la tutela dei lavoratori e delle loro famiglie". Dello stesso tenore le dichiarazioni di ieri di Luigi Vaudo, ex coordinatore Fabi in Piazzetta Cuccia, oggi membro della segreteria Fabi in Mps: "È ormai da oltre un anno e mezzo che le lavoratrici e i lavoratori del Gruppo Mediobanca vivono in una situazione di forte incertezza sul proprio futuro". "Prima l'Ops promossa da Mps - ha aggiunto - oggi le nuove operazioni straordinarie che coinvolgono il settore bancario e che potrebbero determinare ulteriori rinvii e nuove attese incertezze per gli oltre 5.000 dipendenti del Gruppo. Ricordiamo che, poco prima dell'avvio dell'Ops di Mps, era stata approvata all'unanimità la piattaforma per il rinnovo del Contratto Integrativo Aziendale. Un percorso negoziale che è stato successivamente sospeso a causa dell'assenza delle necessarie condizioni di governance", afferma. "Dopo diciotto mesi di instabilità e di continui interrogativi sul futuro societario, riteniamo che sia giunto il momento di riportare al centro dell'attenzione le persone che ogni giorno garantiscono con competenza, professionalità e impegno i risultati del Gruppo Mediobanca", sottolinea. Ne parliamo con Lando Maria Sileoni, segretario generale FABI (Federazione Autonoma Bancari Italiani).

La pujada de tipus del BCE, els casos Zapatero i Leire passen factura al PSOE segons el CIS i la ressaca de la visita del papa.
En Capital Intereconomía seguimos la apertura del Ibex 35 y del resto de las bolsas europeas en una sesión marcada por la tensión geopolítica en Oriente Próximo, las expectativas sobre la política monetaria y el debate sobre las valoraciones de las grandes compañías tecnológicas. En el análisis de mercados, Xavier Brun, responsable de renta variable de Trea AM, examina las consecuencias económicas de la escalada de amenazas entre Estados Unidos e Irán y su impacto sobre el mercado energético. Analizamos la situación de los inventarios de crudo, combustibles refinados y reservas estratégicas en un momento especialmente sensible para la demanda mundial de energía. Con el verano impulsando el consumo en el hemisferio norte y unos niveles de reservas relativamente ajustados, el mercado sigue muy atento a cualquier interrupción prolongada del suministro. También abordamos la decisión del BCE de subir los tipos de interés y las implicaciones que puede tener para la economía europea. La subida responde a una presión inflacionista vinculada principalmente al encarecimiento del petróleo, en un contexto donde empresas y familias mantienen unos niveles de endeudamiento relativamente contenidos, mientras que el foco de preocupación se desplaza hacia las cuentas públicas y el elevado endeudamiento de numerosos gobiernos europeos. Otro de los temas destacados es la evolución del sector tecnológico. Analizamos las elevadas valoraciones que presentan algunas compañías vinculadas a la inteligencia artificial y el fuerte incremento de las inversiones en infraestructuras digitales. En este contexto, ponemos el foco en Oracle Corporation, después de anunciar nuevos planes de inversión multimillonarios en centros de datos para atender la creciente demanda de capacidad informática asociada a la inteligencia artificial. Terminamos la hora con el Consultorio de Bolsa, donde Franco Macchiavelli, analista de mercados, responde a las consultas de los oyentes sobre valores nacionales e internacionales, análisis técnico, niveles clave y estrategias de inversión.

Ever wondered who ruled Mesoamerica, the Aztecs or the Mayans? The Mayans were first, building their amazing cities and pyramids in places like Guatemala and southern Mexico from around 2000 BCE. They were great at astronomy and had an advanced writing system. The Aztecs came later, dominating central Mexico with their powerful empire starting in the 14th century, known for their massive capital city, Tenochtitlán. Both civilizations were incredible in their own ways, but they ruled different parts of Mesoamerica at different times. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices

(1) In 92 AD, at their Londinium wine bar, Gaius and Germanicus critique the "American way of war," arguing it has failed by abandoning war's sacred ritual roots. In antiquity, war forged civic bonds and served as an apotheosis where performance and sacrifice mattered more than victory. They contrast the "nation in arms" with the modern "emperor system" that relies on hired soldiers. Citing Spartan mothers who wept for surviving sons and celebrated the fallen, they emphasize that honor was the true goal. The transition to "whole of government" strategies reflects a late-Roman decline.550 BCE
(5) Josiah Osgood explains that by 58 BCE, Caesar's allies sent Cato to Cyprus to liquidate its treasury, a mission Catoperformed with obsessive rectitude. Simultaneously, Caesar departed for Gaul, building a formidable military reputation and a deep bond with his soldiers through strategic risk-taking. The alliance between Caesar and Pompey was cemented by Pompey's marriage to Caesar's daughter, Julia. However, Julia's death in childbirth severed this vital link. Catoexploited this loss, romancing Pompey toward the senatorial side as anarchy and riots plagued Rome, signaling the beginning of the Triumvirate's collapse.
(1) James Tabor introduces the historical Mary through the city of Sepphoris, the urban capital of Galilee located just miles from Nazareth. Unlike the small village of Nazareth, Sepphoris was a bustling Roman "jewel" where Mary was born to parents Joachim and Anne. Joseph is described as a "tecton" or builder, likely a stonemason involved in the city's reconstruction after it was burned by Romans in 4 BCE. Tabor emphasizes the traumatic environment of Jesus' infancy, suggesting Mary witnessed the smoke of the city and thousands of Roman crucifixions, which shaped her spiritual focus on the kingdom of God.
(1) Josiah Osgood explains that in 64 BCE, Cato and Caesar briefly cooperated in a "murder court" targeting those who profited from Sulla's brutal proscriptions. Cato, driven by rectitude and a fear of strongmen, sought to return stolen wealth to the treasury. Caesar, a patrician rebuilding his family's prestige, presided over the court to establish his brand of justice and challenge the senatorial clique. This unique moment of alignment preceded their legendary feud. Both men were scarred by childhood civil wars, shaping Cato's pursuit of virtue and Caesar's ambition for popular authority.CARTHAGE
(8) Evan Ellis previews Pope Leo's historic visit to South America, including his former missionary grounds. In Argentina, President Milei struggles with declining approval as Peronist opposition organizes for future electoral challenges.80 BCE
James Romm discusses his book Plato and the Tyrant. Syracuse emerged as an immensely powerful and prosperous state in the 4th century BCE under the rule of Dionysius the Elder. He rose to power as a demagogue by railing against elite leaders and was appointed general by the sympathetic masses. To secure his rule, Dionysius utilized the "Island," a peninsula fortress with a natural spring that made it impossible to starve out during a siege. Dionysius broke Greek custom by practicing polygamy, marrying two women on the same day to project a superhuman, royal image. This double marriage eventually sparked civil war and rivalry between his children. (1/8)1871
In Plato and the Tyrant, James Romm explains that Plato, born approximately 428 BCE, was deeply influenced by the 30 Tyrants of Athens, a regime involving his cousin Critias that conducted a reign of terror. After the execution of his teacher, Socrates, Plato developed a philosophy centered on a world of eternal forms, which are perfect realities beyond sensory perception. Plato visited Syracuse in 385 BCE, drawn by Dion, the ruler's brother-in-law, who shared Plato'sdisdain for the city's riotous living. This first visit was a colossal failure, as Dionysius the Elder dismissed Plato with dishonor for advocating ethical behavior. (2/8)1800 PLATO
Following the death of the Elder in 367 BCE, Dion invited Plato back to tutor the immature Dionysius the Younger. James Romm explains that Dion hoped Plato could transform the new ruler into an enlightened, constitutional monarch rather than a tyrant. Despite Plato's efforts to reform the court's lifestyle, the regime remained characterized by 90-day drinking parties and excessive wealth. The relationship soured when Dionysius intercepted a letter Dion sent to Carthaginian diplomats, viewing it as betrayal. Consequently, Dion was banished, and Plato was held under house arrest until being rescued by the philosopher-leader Archytas. (3/8)1245 THE ACADEMY
During his five-year exile, Dion determined to overthrow the regime after Dionysius confiscated his estate and forced his wife to marry a loyalist. James Romm notes that Plato refused to join the coup but made a third voyage to Syracuse in 361 BCE to plead for Dion's reinstatement. These political failures directly informed the Republic, where Plato uses the "tyrannical man" to condemn autocracy. Syracuse was then a massive military power of 200,000 people, often compared in strength to the King of Persia. Plato's firsthand experience under a tyrant provided the basis for his philosopher king ideal. (4/8)1898 THE ACADEMY
