Show 12-26-25 The show begins in doubts of the veneration of Cicero. and the derogation of Aggripina Minor. 1880 SULLA SACKING ROME ROME BEFORE THE EMPERORS: CICERO'S RISE Colleague Josiah Osgood. John Batchelor introduces Josiah Osgood to discuss Marcus Tullius Cicero, a "new man" who rose to political prominence through legal skill in the 1st century BCE. They examine Cicero's debut defense of Roscius, accused of patricide, a crime punished by being sewn into a sack with animals. Cicero proved Roscius was framed by relatives seeking to seize his inheritance, establishing his reputation for storytelling and detective work. NUMBER 1 THE PROSECUTION OF VERRES Colleague Josiah Osgood. Cicero takes on the corruption trial of Gaius Verres, the governor of Sicily who looted art and money from the province. Although Cicero usually defended clients to earn favors, he prosecuted Verres to align with political shifts demanding reform. Verres was backed by the Senateestablishment and Sulla's followers, making Cicero's move a bold attack by an outsider against a "crooked establishment" to cleanse the government. NUMBER 2 CICERO VS. CATILINE: THE CONSPIRACY BEGINS Colleague Josiah Osgood. Cicero captivated the jury against Verres by describing the governor partying while pirates raided Syracuse, causing Verres to flee into exile. Later, Cicero achieved the consulship by defeating Catiline, an aristocrat who became his bitter rival. Desperate after losing the election again, Catiline conspired with a fashionable group of young men to overthrow the government, leading to a showdown with Cicero in the Senate. NUMBER 3 THE EXECUTION MISTAKE Colleague Josiah Osgood. Cicero ordered the execution of five high-ranking Romancitizens allied with Catiline without a trial, believing them to be traitors who forfeited citizenship. This decision, made despite Julius Caesar's suggestion of life imprisonment, became a major political error. Cicero's gloating and refusal to grant due process alienated the public and powerful figures, turning him into a target for the populist movement and threatening his future career. NUMBER 4 THE BONA DEA SCANDAL Colleague Josiah Osgood. A scandal erupts when Publius Clodius infiltrates the women-only Bona Dea ceremony at Caesar's house disguised as a female musician, allegedly to pursue Caesar's wife. Although Cicero initially hesitated, he testified against Clodius, destroying his alibi that he was out of town. This testimony created a dangerous enemy in Clodius, who, despite the sacrilege charge, managed to secure an acquittal through bribery. NUMBER 5 EXILE AND THE TEMPLE OF LIBERTY Colleague Josiah Osgood. Seeking revenge, Clodius transitions to plebeian status to become a tribune and passes a law punishing anyone who executed citizens without trial, specifically targeting Cicero. Forced into exile, Cicero flees Rome while Clodius destroys his mansion on Palatine Hill. Clodiusdedicates the site to the goddess Liberty as a political coup and a humiliation to Cicero, while also harassing Cicero'swife, Terentia, who remained in Rome. NUMBER 6 THE IDES OF MARCH Colleague Josiah Osgood. Cicero returns to a Rome on the brink of civil war, eventually being pardoned by the victor, Caesar. Resenting Caesar's tyranny, Cicero seemingly encouraged Brutus but was not part of the assassination plot. On the Ides of March, Cicero witnessed the murder in the Senate; Brutus shouted Cicero's name while holding the bloody dagger, linking the orator to the restoration of the Republic in the public eye. NUMBER 7 THE DEATH OF CICERO Colleague Josiah Osgood. Following Caesar's death, Cicero returns to politics to oppose Mark Antony, delivering the "Philippics" and allying with young Octavian. This strategy backfires when Octavianreconciles with Antony, leading to a kill order against Cicero for his anti-Caesar rhetoric. Cicero is assassinated, possibly meeting his death with theatrical heroism by extending his neck to the soldiers, a scene likely popularized by his loyal secretary Tiro. NUMBER 8 THE SABINE WOMEN AND AUGUSTAN HISTORY Colleague Emma Southon. Emma Southon discusses A Rome of One's Own, examining history through women's perspectives. They analyze the myth of the Sabine women, abducted by Romulus to populate Rome. This story, recorded by Livy to flatter Augustus, culminates in Hersilia and the women intervening in battle to unite the warring fathers and husbands. It establishes women as the "glue" holding Romanfamilies and society together. NUMBER 9 LUCRETIA: VIRTUE AND SUICIDE Colleague Emma Southon. The discussion moves to Lucretia, the model of Roman female virtue. During a contest among husbands, Lucretia is found virtuously weaving wool while others party. This leads to her rape by Sextus Tarquinius, who threatens her reputation. To protect her honor, Lucretia confesses to her family and commits suicide, an act Augustus later used to define female virtue and which sparked the end of the monarchy. NUMBER 10 TULLIA AND THE BIRTH OF THE REPUBLIC Colleague Emma Southon. Contrasting Lucretia is Tullia, a figure of female ambition and wickedness. Tullia conspires with her brother-in-law to murder their spouses and her own father, the king, even driving over his body. Her crimes and the subsequent assault on Lucretia by her son, Sextus, justify the overthrow of the monarchy. Brutus uses Lucretia's body to incite the revolution that establishes the Roman Republic. NUMBER 11 CLODIA: THE PALATINE MEDEA Colleague Emma Southon. The segment focuses on Clodia, a wealthy, independent woman and sister of Clodius. Cicero, feuding with her brother, attacks Clodia's reputation during the trial of Caelius. In his speech Pro Caelio, Cicero characterizes her as a "Palatine Medea" and a seductress to discredit her claims of attempted poisoning. Unable to speak in court, Clodia is silenced by Cicero's rhetorical assassination of her character. NUMBER 12 JULIA: THE EMPEROR'S REBELLIOUS DAUGHTER Colleague Emma Southon. Augustus uses his daughter Julia as a political tool, marrying her to Marcellus, Agrippa, and finally the reluctant Tiberius to secure an heir. While she had five children with Agrippa, her forced marriage to Tiberius leads to rebellion. Julia engages in public adulterous affairs to humiliate her father, resulting in her permanent exile and eventual starvation by Tiberius after Augustus'sdeath. NUMBER 13 QUEENS OF BRITAIN: CARTIMANDUA AND BOUDICCA Colleague Emma Southon. This segment contrasts two British queens: Cartimandua and Boudicca. Cartimandua, queen of the Brigantes, collaborates successfully with Rome, understanding they are "not to be defeated, they're to be pleased." Conversely, Boudicca represents resistance; provoked by Roman mistreatment, she leads a rebellion but is defeated. While Tacitus claims Boudicca committed suicide to preserve honor, English schools celebrate her as a symbol of resistance against tyranny. NUMBER 14 WOMEN OF COMMERCE AND THE FRONTIER Colleague Emma Southon. We meet Julia Felix, a Pompeianentrepreneur who ran a luxury bath and dining complex, offering "bougie" experiences to the middle class before dying in the Vesuvius eruption. The discussion shifts to Vindolanda in Britain, where letters between Sulpicia Lepidina and Claudia Severa reveal a vibrant social life for women in military forts, including birthday parties and domestic luxuries like wild swan and imported wine. NUMBER 15 PERPETUA AND THE RISE OF CHRISTIANITY Colleague Emma Southon. The final segment discusses Perpetua, a young nursing mother and Christian convert in Carthage. Defying the Roman mandate to sacrifice to the emperor, she views suffering as redemptive rather than a punishment. Unlike Romans who viewed suicide by poison as honorable, Perpetua and her slave Felicity choose martyrdom in the arena, having their throats cut to demonstrate their faith, signaling the rise of Christianity. NUMBER 16

NUMBER 6 1550 MARK ANTONY ORDERS CICERO'S ASSASSINATION
CLODIA: THE PALATINE MEDEA Colleague Emma Southon. The segment focuses on Clodia, a wealthy, independent woman and sister of Clodius. Cicero, feuding with her brother, attacks Clodia's reputation during the trial of Caelius.

SHOW 12-25-25 THE SHOW BEGINS WITH DOUBTS ABOUT THE MODERN STORY OF MARY AND HER FAMILY. 1868 NAZARETH SEPPHORIS AND THE HISTORICAL CONTEXT OF MARY'S LIFE Colleague James Tabor. Tabor identifies Sepphoris, a Roman capital near Nazareth, as Mary's birthplace. He reimagines Jesus and Joseph as "tektons" (builders) working in this urban center rather than simple carpenters. This proximity meant Mary witnessed Romanbrutality and the city's destruction, influencing her family's spiritual views on the Kingdom of God. NUMBER 1 INVESTIGATING THE NAME PANTERA Colleague James Tabor. Tabor explores the name "Pantera," found in rabbinic texts and on a Roman soldier's tombstone. He suggests this might be a family name rather than a slur, investigating the possibility that Jesus's father was a relative or soldier, which challenges the theological narrative of a virgin birth. NUMBER 2 RECLAIMING THE HISTORICAL JEWISH FAMILY Colleague James Tabor. Highlighting the Protoevangelium of James, Tabor contrasts its depiction of a perpetual virgin Mary with historical evidence of a large Jewish family. He argues Mary had numerous children and that her parents were likely wealthy property owners in Sepphoris, integrating Jesus into a close-knit extended family. NUMBER 3 JAMES THE JUST AS TRUE SUCCESSOR Colleague James Tabor. Tabor asserts James, Jesus's brother, was the movement's true successor, not Peter. Citing Acts and the Gospel of Thomas, he notes James led the Jerusalem council and stood at the cross. Tabor argues the "beloved disciple" entrusted with Mary's care was this blood brother, not Johnthe fisherman. NUMBER 4 THE HEADQUARTERS ON MOUNT ZION Colleague James Tabor. Tabor describes excavations on Mount Zion, identifying a first-century house foundation as the "upper room" and headquarters of the early movement. He visualizes Mary as the matriarch in this courtyard, welcoming pilgrims and apostles like Paul, and establishes James as the leader of this house synagogue. NUMBER 5 THE FLIGHT TO PELLA AND MARY'S DEATH Colleague James Tabor. Tabor discusses the Christian flight to Pella during the Roman revolt. He speculates Mary died before this event, likely around 49–63 CE, and was buried on Mount Zion. Consequently, she disappears from the New Testament record, which shifts focus to Peter and Paul after the Jerusalem church's dispersal. NUMBER 6 THE TALPIOT TOMB AND DNA EVIDENCE Colleague James Tabor. Discussing the Talpiot tomb, Tabor details ossuaries bearing names like "Jesus son of Joseph" and "Mariamne." He argues statistical clusters and potential DNA evidence suggest this is the Jesus family tomb, positing that physical remains support historical existence without necessarily negating the concept of spiritual resurrection. NUMBER 7 THE Q SOURCE AND MARY'S TEACHINGS Colleague James Tabor. Tabor identifies the "Q" source as a collection of ethical teachings shared by Matthew and Luke. He attributes these core values—such as charity and humility—to a family tradition taught by Mary to Jesus, James, and John the Baptizer, aiming to restore Mary'shistorical influence as a teacher. NUMBER 8 VIRGIL'S RURAL ORIGINS AND AUGUSTAN CONNECTION Colleagues Scott McGill and Susanna Wright. The guests discuss Virgil's birth in 70 BCE near Mantua and his rural upbringing, which influenced his poetry. They trace his move to Rome during civil war and his eventual connection to Augustus, noting that Virgil promised a grand epic for the emperor in his earlier work, the Georgics. NUMBER 9 TRANSLATING THE SOUND AND METER OF VIRGIL Colleagues Scott McGill and Susanna Wright. The translators explain choosing iambic pentameter over dactylic hexameter to provide an English cultural equivalent to the original's epic feel. They describe their efforts to replicate Virgil's auditory effects, such as alliteration and assonance, and preserve specific line repetitions that connect characters like Turnus and Camilla. NUMBER 10 THE AENEID'S PLOT AND HOMERIC INFLUENCES Colleagues Scott McGill and Susanna Wright. McGill and Wright summarize the plot, from Troy's destruction to the war in Italy. They analyze Virgil's dialogue with Homer, noting how the poem's opening words invoke both the Iliad's warfare and the Odyssey's wanderings. They also highlight the terrifying, visual nature of Virgil's depiction of the underworld. NUMBER 11 ROMAN EXCEPTIONALISM VS. HUMAN TRAGEDY Colleagues Scott McGill and Susanna Wright. They discuss whether the Aeneid justifies Roman empire or tells a human story. McGill argues the poem survives because it creates sympathy for antagonists like Dido and Turnus. They explore how Virgil portrays the costs of empire and Aeneas's rage, complicating the narrative of Augustan propaganda. NUMBER 12 CLODIA'S PRIVILEGE AND CICERO'S AMBITION Colleague Douglas Boin. Boin introduces Clodia, a privileged woman from an ancient Roman family on Palatine Hill. He contrasts her aristocratic, independent nature—manifested in her name spelling—with the rise of Cicero, a talented outsider. Boin frames their eventual conflict as a clash between established power and ambitious newcomers. NUMBER 13 THE POLITICS OF TRIBUNES AND REFORM Colleague Douglas Boin. Boin details the divide between the Optimates and Populares. He explains how Clodia and her brother Clodius used the office of Tribune—the "people's protector" with veto power—to enact reforms. This strategy allowed them to challenge the Senate's authority and set the stage for Clodius's political dominance. NUMBER 14 THE TRIAL OF RUFUS AND CICERO'S MISOGYNY Colleague Douglas Boin. Boin describes a trial where Clodia accused her ex-lover Rufus of poisoning. Cicero defended Rufus by launching misogynistic attacks on Clodia, calling her "cow-eyed" and alleging incest. Boin argues this famous speech unfairly solidified Clodia's negative historical reputation while obscuring the political power she wielded. NUMBER 15 THE DEATH OF CLODIUS AND THE REPUBLIC'S END Colleague Douglas Boin. Boin recounts the violent death of Clodius by rival gangs, marking a turning point toward the Republic's collapse. He views Clodia's subsequent disappearance from history as a symbol of the loss of women's influence and civic rights, framing her story as a cautionary tale about political violence. NUMBER 16

Michel identifies a "deficit hawk coalition" split between deficit hawks (agnostic on revenues/spending) and budget hawks (concerned with government size), advocating for spending cuts to solve the crisis. Entitlement programs like Social Security, Medicare, and Medicaid are the root of fiscal problems. 1045-1100 The US Fiscal Crisis: Spending Cuts Are the Only Way Out GUEST NAME: Adam Michel Adam Michel, director of tax policy at the Cato Institute, discusses the US fiscal crisis stemming from large deficits and overwhelming debt.

Luxa https://linktr.ee/LuxaStrata hosts a panel of magic practitioners to discuss navigating issues related to mental health in one's magical practice. For this panel discussion, we address the following questions. How do we navigate the relationship between doing magic for things we desire in healthy ways (and how do we define this) vs. things we might desire that would be unhelpful for us, or which might travel into the territory of spiritual bypassing? What barriers surrounding the concept of desire have we had to move through in our work? What experiences would we share?Thanks to panel guests Clodius, Zarpauluk, Catalyst and Jour de SadalsuudReferenced in today's episode: Zarpauluk's work https://paraimperium.wordpress.com/ https://www.theduckwebcomics.com/Joanna_Ghost_Hunter/The Tibetan Book of the Dead The Big Book of Candle Magic - Jacki Smith Conversations on Citizenship and Person-Centered Work - John O'Brien & Carol BlessingThanks to Sad Black Lab for the use of their song, "Steps" https://youtu.be/rJIg__DK2X8?si=WE9aCcU6lpMIISpMhttps://youtu.be/WYmgmgtjCpQ?si=MQ5B-93ib6yvK8f3https://open.spotify.com/track/0lqCwUEgiryqT2G8QMBgRt?si=r5t5OIaGT7yzB6vn-QOZiw&context=spotify%3Aalbum%3A2ccTag8BLNcMa9pQfHdtxSThanks for listening to the Lux Occult Podcast!

In the dying days of the Roman republic, a remarkable woman steps out of the shadows and beyond the boundaries imposed on her sex, driven by an unstoppable ambition. Kaarina Parker's stunning debut novel, told in the compelling voice of this brilliant woman from history, brings Fulvia and the society in which she lived vividly to life. Born into a wealthy but unimportant family, Fulvia is raised in the peace of the Etruscan countryside but longs for a life of excitement and influence. When her father dies and her inheritance is threatened, she makes her way to the city of Rome to secure her future. Motivated by both passion and opportunism, Fulvia marries Clodius, a hedonistic young senator. They are perfect partners - risk takers, scornful of convention and eager for change. Although Clodius is heir to a leading aristocratic family, he has spent his life criticising the rules of his class and championing the common people. As a wife and mother, Fulvia fulfils her role in a society that denies women any influence outside the home - but she is also a ruthless political strategist, intent on seeing her husband rise through the ranks of Rome's governing body, the senate. And, through him, wielding her own authority. But Rome is a dangerous place, and power can become notoriety overnight. Fulvia soon learns just how high the stakes really are, and that her ambitions may come at a terrible cost. In this episode Gregory Dobbs chats to Kaarina Parker about her passion for Roman history, the hedonsim of the late Roman Empire, and how Fulvia, a young woman from the provinces, rose to become one of its most influential citizens.

Skulle våra politiker bli mindre slätstrukna om de kryddade sina tal med ordvitsar? Carl Magnus Juliusson berättar om hur ordlekarna använts historiskt och kan utgöra en nödvändig ventil. Lyssna på alla avsnitt i Sveriges Radio Play. ESSÄ: Detta är en text där skribenten reflekterar över ett ämne eller ett verk. Åsikter som uttrycks är skribentens egna.Det finns de som hatar ordvitsar. Det är något jag blev varse när jag läste Thomas de Quinceys självbiografiska ”En engelsk opieätares bekännelser” som första gången gavs ut anonymt 1821. 1856 publicerade De Quincy den på nytt i en reviderad utgåva. I denna utgåva har han bifogat en fotnot. Och i denna fotnot ber han om ursäkt för att en mening rymmer för många allitterationer. 8 av 36 ord börjar på bokstaven f, något som De Quincey hävdar är helt och hållet oavsiktligt.Varför han känner sig tvungen att be om ursäkt är, med hans ord, för att vissa människor ”blir irriterade, eller till och med inbillar sig själva vara förolämpade, av uppenbara allitterationer, som många blir av ordvitsar”.Förolämpade av allitterationer och ordvitsar? Allitterationen är ju en av den klassiska retorikens främsta stilfigurer! Den romerske talaren Cicero staplar allitterationer på varandra. Han gör det så ofta att det blivit ett kännetecken för hans stil – en stil som lyfts fram som den främsta inom latinsk formuleringskonst. Men även ordvitsar var ett vanligt inslag i förmodern litteratur – och det inte bara i humoristiska sammanhang. Det finns gott om ordvitsar även inom allvarliga ämnen som juridik, filosofi och till och med tragedi. Den franske antikhistorikern Jean-Pierre Vernant har lyft fram att det inte finns någon antik genre i vilken det förekommer så mycket ordvitsar som den grekiska tragedin. Flest har ”Kung Oidipus”. Syftet med ordvitsarna är dock inte att de ska vara roliga. De ska visa hur Oidipus jakt på kungens mördare hela tiden leder tillbaka till honom själv. En sådan tvetydighet finns redan i Oidipus namn. Namnet kommer av att han har en svullen fot, oidi-pous. Men också av att han vet – oida – svaret på fotens och sfinxens gåta. Att det är han själv som i själva verket är orsak till alltihop.Samma funktion har ordet homosporon. När Oidipus använder det om Iokasta vill han säga att han har gift sig med samma fru som den tidigare kungen. Men ordet kan också betyda, som när det tas i mun av siaren Tiresias, att de tillhör samma släkt. Ja oj oj.Cicero skriver mest utförligt om ordvitsar – eller ”dubbeltydiga yttranden” – i andra boken av ”Om talaren”. Där kan man läsa att de ”anses vara de allra fyndigaste”. De förekommer inte bara i skämt ”utan också i allvarliga sammanhang”. De kräver ett särskilt ”skarpsinne”. Och de framkallar ”sällan formliga gapskratt utan prisas snarare som uttryck för lärdom och elegans”.Lärdom och elegans alltså. Ordvitsen hade länge kvar sin plats inom filosofin, juridiken och inte minst tragedin. Hamlets första replik – i Shakespeares tragedi – är exempelvis en ordvits: ”A little more than kin, and less than kind”. Raden anspelar på ett talesätt – ”the nearer in kin, the less in kindness” – vars innebörd är att släkten är värst. Ordleken lyfter fram att Claudius som gift sig med Hamlets mor nu är mer släkt, ”kin”, med Hamlet än tidigare. Nu är han både farbror och styvfar. Men han är inte särskilt snäll, ”kind”, och inte av samma sort, ”kind” igen, som den avlidne fadern, utan korrupt och fördärvad.Men detta lekande med ords innebörder förändrades under 1600-talet. Förespråkare för den nya moderna vetenskapen menade att orden inte längre fungerade som de skulle för att förmedla kunskap. Att ord har flera betydelser förvanskar idéer och förvirrar tanken, snarare än att främja den. Mångtydighet lyftes därför fram som den främsta anledningen till missförstånd – något som till och med kunde orsaka krig.Filosofen John Locke yrkade på att matematik istället för vardagsspråk skulle användas för att beskriva världen. Matematiken kunde frigöra vetenskapsmannen från ordens bedräglighet, ”the Cheat of Words”, som han skriver. Och sedan dess kanske man kan säga att ordvitsen befunnit sig i ett visst nummerärt underläge. Talen fick ersatta, ja talet.Det här är något som slår igenom också i litteraturen. Det kan man se till exempel hos de brittiska romantikerna som, till skillnad från Shakespeares ordlekar, undviker tvetydigheter i ordval och syntax till förmån för ett tydligare, mindre konstlat och mer direkt tilltal.Och under 1800-talet kan man alltså till och med bli förolämpad av en ordvits.Men i en sådan värld, den värld vi fortfarande lever i, kan jag inte undgå att känna att något gått förlorat. Om allt ska uttryckas klart och tydligt, eller inte alls, om mångtydighet är något man föraktar eller suckar åt – vad händer då med allt som vi av olika anledningar inte kan, vill eller får uttrycka på ett entydigt vis?Förutom sina litterära poänger har ordvitsar historiskt inte sällan rört ämnen som det är svårt att tala om. Det kan handla om åsikter som man inte får säga rätt upp och ner, eftersom de är impopulära eller rentav olagliga, eller berör aktiviteter som det inte passar sig att tala om alltför naket och oblygt.Ett exempel från Cicero. Scenen är en rättegång. En åklagare lägger fram bevis för att Titus Annius Milo ska ha inväntat tidpunkten då Publius Clodius Pulcher lämnade sitt gods för att slå ihjäl honom.Cicero försvarar den anklagade mördaren. När man gång på gång frågar vid vilken tid Clodius ska ha blivit mördad svarar Cicero ”sero”.”Sero” betyder ”sent” på latin. Men det kan också betyda ”alltför sent”. Cicero svarar alltså att Clodius blev ihjälslagen sent på dagen. Men med hjälp av ordets mångtydighet kan han även ge uttryck åt en åsikt som kanske inte bör sägas rakt ut – att Clodius borde ha tagits av daga för länge sedan.Ja, Cicero är en dräpande försvarsadvokat. Nu menar jag så klart inte att det är bra att gå runt och önska livet ur folk. Men kanske finns det saker som man ändå måste kunna ventilera även om de är svåra att uttrycka utan omskrivning. Ordvitsen kan då utgöra en unik möjlighet att säga något utan att faktiskt säga det.I en tid där allt kan spelas in och spelas upp igen, verkar våra politiker – med vissa uppenbara undantag – bara bli mer och mer försiktiga med vad de säger. Tillsammans med sina pressekreterare printar de ner propra uttalanden som säger exakt så lite som de avser och som inte kan misstolkas av någon. Därefter viker de inte en tum från sitt manus. Klart och tydligt. Varken mer eller mindre. Men också intetsägande. Nej, i dag vimlar det kanske inte av politiker med Ciceros lärdom och elegans. Det är klart att man, mot en sådan fond, lätt kan vinna politiska framgångar med en motsatt mediestrategi för att – ursäkta – trump-eta ut sitt budskap.Humor och mångtydighet kan – också i allvarliga sammanhang – utgöra en nödvändig ventil. Hjälpa till att lätta på trycket. Och bli en politisk superkraft.Carl-Magnus Juliussonlitteraturvetare och kulturjournalist

RebellenTalk - der Podcast für Führungskräfte, denen man folgen will
Podcast „Rebellentalk“ „Ohne die Liebe zu den Menschen ist die Digitalisierung für die Katz.“ In unserem neusten Podcast sprechen Jens und Jörg mit zwei Teammitgliedern der Digitalagentur `arsmedium´, Alex Clodius und Robert Puchalla. arsmedium ist eine unabhängige, inhabergeführte Agenturgruppe mit einer Kernkompetenz im digitalen Marketing mit dem Ziel ein Unternehmen erfolgreich zu einer Marke zu machen. Bei dem Thema Digitalisierung gingen wir eigentlich davon aus, dass wir überwiegend mit technischen Dingen konfrontiert wären. Im Laufe des spannenden Gespräches stellte sich dann heraus, dass der Erfolg von arsmedium weniger mit Technik, als mit Menschlichkeit zu tun hat. Warum? Weil erfolgreiche Markenbildung durch Vertrauen entsteht. Vertrauen der Führungskräfte zu ihren Mitarbeitern und umgekehrt. Pathetisch ausgedrückt entsteht Vertrauen durch „Liebe“. Ebenso geht es um das Vertrauen der Kunden zu den Mitarbeitern. Die Digitalisierung ist nicht der Kern, der zum Gelingen beiträgt, sondern nur der Rahmen, in dem die Markenbildung entsteht. Der Kern der Arbeit von arsmedium ist die Arbeit mit den Menschen. Zu erfahren, wie genau sie das machen, ist deshalb so spannend, weil es viele Mythen rund um die Digitalisierung entlarvt.
Cato the Younger's exile from Rome began with a cross-dressing aristocrat who had a crush on Julius Caesar's wife. In 62 BC, Publius Clodius figured that the best way to get close to Pompeia—Mrs. Caesar—was to dress as a female lute player and worm his way into the Good Goddess ceremony. This religious rite was only attended by women and was being hosted by Caesar's wife. Clodius was found out when he spoke to a maid in a deep baritone voice and was eventually caught hiding under a bed. Caesar divorced his wife, asserting that “Caesar's wife must be above reproach.”Which she was. Clodius was hauled into court on charges of “sacrilege and sexual immorality.” Cicero got involved in the case because his wife believed he was having an affair with Clodius's sister. In order to defend himself, Cicero had to testify that he had seen Clodius in Rome on the day of his offense, which destroyed the alibi Clodius had offered—that he was out of town on the day of his cross-dressing. Clodius was acquitted, thanks to bribes paid to the jurors by Rome's rich crime lord Crassus. But his reputation, and with it his political future, was ruined. Instead of the many others Clodius could have blamed for the debacle—well, really just himself—he set the whole thing at Cicero's feet, despite the fact that Cicero's involvement in the whole sordid mess was insignificant. I sure hope Clodius doesn't find his way to any kind of political power any time soon. Subscribe to History's TrainwrecksSupport this show http://supporter.acast.com/historys-trainwrecks.

It's 47 or 46 BCE, and we've stepped into a private chamber, where a woman is pulling down her saffron-colored veil. Today she's getting married, but she's no blushing virgin. In fact, this is her third marriage, and she's as shrewd, seasoned, and ambitious as they come. When she marries a man, she becomes his ultimate champion. And lucky for him, her fiancé is about to find out what it means to be married to Rome's #1 lady gangster. Fulvia is a mighty force of nature.
