Transcript Dr Rad - Welcome to the Partial Recap for the 410s BCE! Dr G - I’m Dr G  Dr Rad: and I’m Dr Rad Dr G: and this is our highlights edition of the 410s in Rome. We’ll take you through from 419 to 410 in an epitome of our normal episodes.  Dr Rad: Perfect for those mornings when you don’t want some lengthy rhetoric with your coffee - but please be warned - the Roman world is a violent one.   Dr G: Get ready for a recappuccino.  419 BCE * In 419 BCE, the military tribunes with consular power were Agrippa Menenius Lanatus, Publius Lucretius Hosti Tricipitunus, Spurius Nautius Rutilus and Gaius Servilius Axilla. * This was a year of high drama, mama! * Some of the slaves in Rome decided to stage a pretty audacious uprising - setting fires all over the city and then taking control of the Capitol whilst everyone else was distracted.  * Naturally, Rome’s best bud - Jupiter - made sure their plot failed. * In other words, some of the slaves turned informer and were rewarded with their freedom and a healthy bonus * As for the rest of the slaves - they were simply showered with attention - of the sharp and pointy kind.
