The Roman Consuls: How Two Men Ruled the Republic

Lucas and Luna explore the office of the Roman consuls, the highest elected magistrates of the Republic. They discuss the origins of the consulship after the overthrow of the kings, the powers and checks of the office, famous consuls like Lucius Junius Brutus and Cincinnatus, and how the position evolved during the late Republic with figures like Marius and Sulla. The episode covers the veto power, the role in military command, and the transition from patrician to plebeian consuls. It also touches on the symbolism of the fasces and the consular year. #RomanConsuls #RomanRepublic #LuciusJuniusBrutus #Cincinnatus #Marius #Sulla #Fasces #SPQR #AncientRome #CursusHonorum #Patricians #Plebeians #RomanHistory #FexingoHistory #Republic #Magistrates #Consulship #History Keep every episode free: buymeacoffee.com/fexingo
