A podcast about Roman history, chronicling the events, and people, that led to the downfall of the Roman Republic, and its transformation into the Roman Empire. A system of government that elected leaders with term limits who could check and balance each other, destroyed itself.

The First Triumvirate had accomplished a lot of their goals. Now, they struggle to hold it together. Julius Caesar has a great opportunity in Gaul, though is surrounded by danger. In Rome, Pompey Magnus and Crassus struggle to hold onto power. The First Triumvirate threatens to break, all of their work for naught…
Our essential question to keep in mind throughout the episode is: What was Rome’s philosophy of conquering territory? Why did non-Romans eventually stop fighting Roman conquest?

Death of the Roman Republic (DOTRR) is an educational podcast, and any clips from other media is used to transform and elevate its educational content, using modern media to help people relate to a 2000 year old story. (Speaking as a not-Fair Use expert), DOTRR seeks to use Fair Use, in transforming media clips used for educational purposes, and in that Death of the Roman Republic will never make a profit (no advertisements, Patreon, etc.).
*2024 update - Google Podcasts is apparently shutting down, I am attempting to upload to podcast to Spotify. Fingers crossed this works, I nonetheless have an always will do this for fun, and do not seek to make any profit, and use media to elevate education (without outdated memes and references) through transformative means.
