Summary
In this compelling episode of Tin Foil Hat with Sam Tripoli, special guest Jeremy Ryan Slate delves deep into his research on the deification of Augustus in ancient Rome, offering a thought-provoking exploration of how power is consolidated through narrative and symbolism. Slate outlines how Augustus strategically shifted the title of his position, shedding the image of a mere political leader to assume a near-divine status in the eyes of the public. By weaving myths around his accomplishments, commissioning grandiose statues, and manipulating public perception, Augustus not only solidified his grip on Rome but also laid the groundwork for a totalitarian regime. The conversation further explores how these acts of manufactured reverence and centralized control contributed to a legacy of authoritarian rule—ultimately sowing the seeds for the eventual decline and fall of the Roman Empire.
