Summary

Can’t sleep, so you may as well spend some time with the Romans, who somehow turned roads, law, politics, and organized ambition into a whole civilization. In this calm, steady episode, you’ll hear about the rise of Ancient Rome, how the Republic worked until it very much didn’t, and the everyday ideas and systems that helped Rome leave its fingerprints all over history. No whispering, no jump scares, just a measured reading to give your brain something interesting to do while the rest of you powers down. Happy sleeping!
