Top tier analysis -- many people fail to convey this much detail, nuance, and understanding, at least so concisely. On the last year of my History major (with a Classics minor), and it's great to have something like this to kick me in the rear and remind me of the fundamentals when they get buried under everything.

This channel is still criminally underseen. Sub count is steadily growing, hope you find that one video that really launches it. Great job again!

[@tribunateSPQR]

Thanks! We're proud of the growth so far and thankful for the amazing support

I think the most influential marriage in all of ancient history was Pompey's marriage to Julia. I wonder how differently history would have played out had she not died so young, severing the bond between Pompey and Caesar.

[@tribunateSPQR]

It’s a shame that she died so young, the marriage was by all accounts a very happy one and Caesar had tremendous affection for his daughter. Had she survived and reconciled the two then perhaps Parthia may have become part of Rome

@@tribunateSPQR in the history of Rome podcast by Mike Duncan, it seemed like it was a running joke that he actually loved his wife. But yeah it’s one of those big what-ifs in history.
