It quickly became one of the most popular podcast series in the world, and it goes deep into the long history of ancient Rome. Many people today try to equate our place in history in this country to the “end stage” of the Roman Empire, but it’s not an apples-to-apples comparison, nor is it as simple as many try to make it.
