Retvrn to Rome (feat. Tribunate's Gaius)

On today's episode, Gaius from Tribunate joins Josiah to talk about Roman history and it's parallels to the present moments. Is the U.S. in a decline like the end of the Roman Republic? Or, perhaps, the end of the Roman Empire? Why are fascists and far right groypers so obsessed with Rome? All this and more.Check out Tribunate on YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@tribunateSPQRFollow Gaius on Bluesky @gaius.bsky.socialBecome a Fruitless Patron here: https://www.patreon.com/user?u=11922141Check out Fruitless on YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCIZWDsDrQ0XvDQFWzE6s2ggFind more of Josiah’s work: https://linktr.ee/josiahwsuttonFollow Josiah on Twitter @josiahwsuttonReferences"Cato, the Filibuster, and the Death of the Republic," Tribunate on YouTube, https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DgD3_eBBn5o"The Price of Power: Exploitation and the End of the Roman Republic," Tribunate on YouTube, https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EEi8Tu1-DSM"...And Forgive Them Their Debts (Bookclub #6)," Fruitless, https://share.transistor.fm/s/ebf3fb42"Class & Sexuality in Ancient Rome Part 1: Gay Relationships," Tribunate on YouTube, https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=d9y-thVnwKg"Why Caesar Committed Genocide (and Why He was Proud of It)," Tribunate on YouTube, https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6lzrrTZTRZA"Sulla, Rome's Bloodiest Dictator," Tribunate on YouTube, https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RClu7ADAcb4"Why Elon Musk Loves Sulla," Tribunate on YouTube, https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=E8DP3jz__ikMusic & audio creditsHungry - LiadiiiYesterday – bloom.In My Dreams – bloom. ★ Support this podcast on Patreon ★
