July 7, 2007. In a dramatic ceremony featuring pop stars, fireworks, and smoke cannons, the Colosseum is named one of the seven new wonders of the world. It's an appropriately over-the-top blowout for an arena which, centuries before, was home to its own lavish events. How did spectacles once unfold on the floor of this ancient arena? And how did the Romans use games to entertain people and to control them? Special thanks to our guests, Alison Futrell, co-editor of The Oxford Handbook of Sport and Spectacle in the Ancient World, and Barry Strauss, author of The War That Made the Roman Empire: Antony, Cleopatra, and Octavian at Actium. ** This episode originally aired July 4, 2022.

This week's episode features not one but two conversations—with Aron and Strauss—which, while it may sound like a jazz-age songwriting duo, is in fact a pairing of two distinguished historians: Stephen Aron and Barry Strauss. They join our ongoing series of interviews exploring historians' early love of the past and the essential role of intellectual humility in historical thinking. First up is Stephen Aron, Professor Emeritus of History at UCLA and President and CEO of the Autry Museum of the American West in Los Angeles. The Autry is one of the nation's foremost museums dedicated to the art, history, and cultures of the American West. It weaves together scholarship, public exhibitions, and community engagement to tell stories that cross boundaries—geographic, temporal, and cultural. Aron is a pioneering historian of frontiers, borderlands, and Western American history. In Episode 289, we spoke about all three—while also discussing his long effort to bridge the gap between academic and public history. As both a professor and a museum leader, Aron has spent decades bringing historical thinking into the public square. My second guest this week is Barry Strauss, the Bryce and Edith M. Bowmar Professor in Humanistic Studies at Cornell University. A scholar of ancient Greece and Rome, Strauss is well known for combining academic rigor with public engagement, writing widely read books on classical antiquity, military history, and leadership. Strauss is no stranger to Historically Thinking—he's appeared on the podcast several times before, in Episodes 11, 45, and 256, where we've discussed the death of Caesar, the intellectual achievement of Thucydides, and the war that made the Roman Empire. He is also a recipient of the 2024 Bradley Prize, awarded by the Lynde and Harry Bradley Foundation to individuals who have made outstanding contributions to American intellectual and civic life. The prize honors leaders whose work—whether in education, history, law, or public policy—strengthens the foundations of a free society.  

In this episode of History 102, 'WhatIfAltHist' creator Rudyard Lynch and co-host Austin Padgett discuss the Pax Romana—a 200-year period of Mediterranean peace from Emperor Augustus to Marcus Aurelius. They explore Rome's governance evolution, imperial degeneracy, cultural transitions, technological stagnation, and Christianity's rise. The conversation examines Rome's remarkable longevity while drawing parallels to modern empires and cyclical historical patterns. --

In dieser True Crime-History-Sprachwissenschafts-Crossover-Folge besprechen wir einen Mord. Den Mord an einem Diktator, der mit Kalkül und Charisma die Alleinherrschaft an sich gerissen hat: Gaius Julius Caesar. Er war Feldherr, Schrifsteller, Frauenheld und der Totengräber der römischen Republik. Um seine letzten Worte ranken sich nicht erst seit Shakespeares "Auch du, Brutus?" Mythen. Nach einem kurzen Profiling unseres Opfers und der Täter schildern wir den Tathergang. Danach geht es ums Wort: Was sagte Caesar als letztes? Zu wem sprach er? Und vor allem: in welcher Sprache? Um unsere Fragen zu beantworten, bitten wir drei Zeugen zur Befragung, die uns auch bereitwillig Informationen geben, sich jedoch leider widersprechen. Es beginnt ein zähes Ringen darum, was Wahrheit und was Fiktion einzelner ist. Werden unsere zwei unerschrockenen Detektive Anton und Jakob den Fall klären können oder werden Caesars letzt Worte für immer hinter dem Schleier des Vergessens verborgen bleiben? Ein Fall von Podcast von Anton und Jakob.

Ustadz Andy Octavian Latief, S.si., M.s.c. - Ketundukan Seorang Muslim Kepada Allah dan Rasul-Nya

Etter et knusende nederlag mot Octavian, flyktet Kleopatra og Antonius til Alexandria, hvor de forberedte seg på slutten. Mens Antonius drakk tett, begynte Kleopatra å eksperimentere med gift. Hun ville ikke la seg ta til fange, men ville dø for egen hånd.  Støtt ekte norsk podcasting på Patreon! Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

Octavian Strunilă vine la poveste alături de mine. Povestim despre cum afectează alegerile publicitatea, ce înseamnă să ai un teatru privat, cum a trecut de la actorie la regie, ce însemna să fii vedetă de telenovelă a anilor 2000, cum a făcut datorii imense la bănci și multe, multe altele.

She super-charged Mark Antony's rise to power, whipped up gang violence, went to war with Octavian – and may, just may, have abused Cicero's decapitated head with a hairpin. Here, in conversation with Spencer Mizen, Jane Draycott explores the life of Fulvia, the extraordinary figure who rewrote the rulebook of what a woman could achieve in the cut-throat world of ancient Roman politics.

The fall of the Roman Republic is one of the great stories in all of ancient history and it can still teach lessons relevant to every element of modern life. This telling of the Roman Republic's demise blends systems-based history, trends and forces, events like the Punic Wars and Spartacus' slave rebellion, and the sheer will of legendary historical figures like the Gracchi brothers, Gaius Marius, Sulla, Julius Caesar, Cleopatra, Mark Antony, Octavian, and more. Shedding light on wealth inequality, political and economic corruption, population shifts, the impact of war-both overseas and at home, political violence, questions over citizenship, economic populism, zero-sum politics, violation of political and social norms, a loss of faith in democracy, and more-this historical story has something for everyone.  -Consider Supporting the Podcast!- Leave a rating or review on apple podcasts or spotify!

The answer may surprise you…Why do 'good' people support evil leaders? What allure does fascism hold that enables it to garner popular support? To what extent are ordinary people responsible for the development of authoritarian evil? What is fascism? What did it mean to be a Nazi? How did nazism infect schools, institutions, bureaucracy, the media? This podcast series explores these massive questions and more through the lens of Nazi Germany and the ordinary people who collaborated or resisted as the Third Reich expanded.

Mercury has joined six other planets in the sky to form the return of the gods alignment. These 7 gods, famously named after Roman deities, indicate a renewal at the start of a golden age. Mercury, as messenger, has brought news of the Abraxas-Kekian golden age below to that which is above. From now until 2032 there is a window of seven years promising us peace and prosperity that will be intercepted in 2029 by the asteroid Apophis (Apep) with a destination of 99942. It's unlikely the object will physically impact earth but its presence alone, like comets that signify the end of ages, empires, and health, is enough to consider its implications. It is Apep who attempts to consume the solar barge of RA, which is the daily golden age provided to man. The golden sun and wheat nourish our bodies and minds, but when it is consumed we starve. The Pax Romana, or Golden Age of Octavian, followed the fall of the Roman Republic under Julius Caesar, and the beginning of empire. The period of peace and gold promised will exist temporally until judgement is issued from above. The rapture of ecstasy for Abraxas will be met with tribulation and chaos. Other portents are also powerful omens of what is brewing: March 14, which marks the death of Julius by assassination, is the evaluation day of the new US White House, the deadline for government shutdown, and the day of a lunar eclipse and blood moon. Coupled with these facts are m'ore doomsday fish', suggesting a massive earthquake is soon to strike, March being the month of solar storms, and March 20th, Ostara, being the spring equinox. All of this indicates birth, rebirth, or resurrection, harvest, reflection, and purification. The bloody veil of the moon is the veil of Isis, and when removed symbolizes the naked Diana. The birth of something is coming, good or bad, of empire and tyrant, or age of peace. This is the season of assassination, changing authority, backstabbing, and the return of sun and wheat. -FREE ARCHIVE (w. ads)SUBSCRIPTION ARCHIVEX / TWITTER FACEBOOKWEBSITECashApp: $rdgable EMAIL: rdgable@yahoo.com / TSTRadio@protonmail.comBecome a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/tst-radio--5328407/support.

The Ninth Legion (Legio IX Hispana, also sometimes called the "Lost Legion") had a long history. It served under the command of Julius Caesar during the First Century BC, on the side of Octavian in the civil war against Mark Antony and Cleopatra, and was sent to Spain, Germania, Pannonia, and Britain. In Roman Britain, it fought against rebellions, including the rebellion of Queen Boudica in which it narrowly avoided destruction. But its trace was lost in Northern England in the early Second Century AD, which is highly unusual for such an important unit at a time when the Roman Empire was in good shape overall. Was it destroyed in Britain by Celtic tribes, sent to the Netherlands, or did it disappear in a later conflict in Judea or Cappadocia? In this story, we examine the hypotheses and historical context, which provides a good opportunity to explore what Roman legions were, the conquest of Roman Britain, and other aspects of Roman history. Welcome to Lights Out LibraryJoin me for a sleepy adventure tonight.

This question came via a comment on an earlier podcast. 'Which type of armour did the legions under Caesar and Augustus use? I understand the lorica segmentata was adopted later, but was it used during Octavian's era?  Additionally, I've found references to three types of scuta (shields): the curved oval used by late Republican soldiers, a slightly curved rectangular version, and the iconic rectangular scutum seen in reliefs of Trajan and Aurelius. Could you clarify which types of shields were used during Augustus' later reign and the periods of Germanicus and Vespasian?'   Join us on Patron patreon.com/ancientwarfarepodcast

Augustus is the most significant nonreligious figure in history. He is probably the greatest political genius of all time. He created the Roman Empire which lasted for centuries and formed so much of the world we live in today, including our calendar, our system of time, our alphabet, the spread of Christianity, and a large percentage of modern languages.

Send us a textYes, I know that Octavian IS Augustus, but this episode is about how Gaius Octavius became Gaius Julius Caesar Augustus, and in doing so replaced the old Roman Republic with a military autocracy masquerading as a republic. This is the conclusion of our three part series on the fall of the Roman Republic. My cohost for all three episodes has been my good friend Dr. Jennifer Paxton of the Catholic University of America.This episode includes two audio snippets:Mark Antony's funeral oration for Caesar, from the 1953 film version of Shakespeare's "Julius Caesar" (with Marlon Brando as Brutus)"What have the Romans done for us?" from "Monty Python's The Life of Brian"Quotations from:Appian on Caesar's Funeral, trans.

We will be looking at a very familiar portion of Scripture today, but I'd like to put a twist on it by starting with a verse that, as a recovering control freak, I've had to lean into again and again. It reminds me of who's really in charge…and who's not. “Many are the plans in a man's heart, but it is the Lord's purpose that prevails.” (Prov. 19:21)With that in mind, let's look at Luke 2. It starts, “In those days Caesar Augustus issued a decree that a census should be taken of the entire Roman world.”Let's set the stage here. In the days of Jesus, the Romans ruled the western world. Their military might was legendary. They were ruled by a series of “caesars” or czars. The first of whom was Julius Caesar. When he was assassinated in 44 B.C., a power struggle ensued. The assassins and conspirators Brutus and Cassius battled for control with Mark Antony and Julius Caesar's adopted son, Octavian. When Mark Antony sought to grab power for himself by making an alliance with Egypt and Cleopatra, Octavian took them both on and won. Octavian returned to Rome as a hero and was declared to be the new Caesar.He soon changed his name to Augustus (which means “the revered one”) and quickly took absolute power.About 10 years into his reign, there was an astronomical phenomenon (probably a comet). The Romans declared that it was actually Julius Caesar ascending to the heavens to join the other gods and become a god himself. If Julius was Augustus' father, what does that make him? “The son of God.” From then on, Augustus would be celebrated and worshiped as “God incarnate.”Notwithstanding his newly claimed status, Augustus still had a massive army that needed to be bankrolled. How would he do that? By raising taxes. So, now we come to Luke's account. A decree goes out that a census should be taken of the entire Roman world. Why? So they can be taxed!A king lifts his finger in Rome and 1500 miles away, in an obscure little village, a poverty-stricken couple undertakes an arduous 70-mile journey. And because they did, Mary's child was born in Bethlehem, a little town that just happened to be the one mentioned in an ancient Hebrew prophecy about the Messiah. You might be tempted to think this was an amazing coincidence. That all this “came to pass” because Augustus gave a decree. He was in control.But who really made the decree? Whose will was really being done? Whose kingdom is it really?  Luke is exposing the illusion that we all live with – that we are mere pawns in the hands of human powers – whether they are government officials or city ordinances, whether they are employers or coaches, whether they are former friends or ex-spouses.  His point is clear: Human powers may make their plans and plot their strategies, “but it is the Lord's purpose that prevails.”  He is ultimately the One who is on the throne, and His will is that which will prevail.What was the slogan of the day 2000 years ago?  “Caesar is lord.”  What does Christmas tell us? “NO, HE'S NOT! Jesus is Lord.” God is in control. He was fully in charge then and He is fully in charge now.   Text: Luke 2 Originally recorded on December 10, 2006, at Fellowship Missionary Church, Fort Wayne, IN

This week, to ring in Season 2 of History Homos, Scott is joined by Patrick and Bobby Tamburro to discuss the clash of wills between the two remaining factions of the failing Roman Republic after the death of Julius Caesar. On the side of the Triumvirate were two of Caesar's former right hand men Marc Anthony and Marcus Lepidus as well as his adopted son Octavian and on the side of the Republic respecting Liberatores was Marcus Brutus and Cassius Longinus. After considerable political and social turmoil back in Rome the Triumvirates set their sights on eliminating their rivals and the final battle occurred in late 42 B.C. in Macedonia near a town called Philippi.
