A popular podcaster delivers a wry and rollicking deep-dive into Rome during the years 135-80 BCE--the beginning of the end of the Roman Republic, just before the rise of Julius Caesar--and asks: if America is Rome, where are we now on the historical timeline?

Mark, Matthew, and Luke are portrayed as competing rhetorical narratives about the life of Jesus, with the Farrier-Goulder hypothesis the best working solution.
