The ancient Romans are today most often associated with their vast empire, which at its height stretched from Spain in the west to Iraq in the east, from Britain in the north to North Africa in the south, and supported a population of diverse peoples 100 million strong. Though that realm was impressive in its day, much more important and influential have been the numerous cultural legacies that Rome passed on to later ages and that continue to shape the modern Western world.

The Roman Empire

The Roman Empire.

In which John Green explores exactly when Rome went from being the Roman Republic to the Roman Empire. Here's a hint: it had something to do with Julius Caesar, but maybe less than you think. Find out how Caesar came to rule the empire, what led to him getting stabbed 23 times on the floor of the senate, and what happened in the scramble for power after his assassination. Rome's expansion took hundreds of years, John just explains it in under 12 minutes. The senate, the people, Rome, the caesarian section, the Julian calendar and our old friend Pompey all make appearances, but NOT the Caesar Salad, as Julius had nothing to do with it.
