The Roman Empire (epitome)

Original episode link (though in this case it only covers Augustus and the transition to Tiberius): https://www.podbean.com/ep/pb-4fk5i-f7b4ca  IMAGE: By Ssolbergj - The vexillum of the Roman Empire was a red banner with the letters SPQR in Gold surrounded by a gold wreath hung on a military standard topped by a Roman eagle or an image of the goddess Victoria made of silver or bronze.[1][2][3][4], CC BY 3.0, https://commons.wikimedia.org/w/index.php?curid=4249122 This episode's image is from Wikipedia since they're pretty chill about image-sharing as long as I credit them and I don't have time to go creating a new image-permission request every day, I've got stuff to talk about. Also, yes, I, a degreed librarian, consult Wikipedia during my research as they are generally a solid aggregator of resources. You have my permission to consult Wikipedia as well, just remember they are not a source in their own right or else citogenesis may occur (P.S. Randall Munroe is a treasure). THANKS AND SUCH: Thank you for listening, and thank my family and friends for putting up with me and for helping me out with various things.
