Surprised it’s rated 5 star
I’m surprised the podcast is rated 5 stars. The history of Rome is fascinating however Mike goes above and beyond to discredit history itself. He asks if Romulus even existed and claims its impossible to believe all that he did. Formed the army, built the structure of the city. Then he goes on to ask if in a few hundred years we’ll think George Washington “flew” and erase Madison and Jefferson from history. That’s crazy! First off Romulus “built” an army which was really only about 3,000 people. For one man to do that is not impossible. The thought that history is a figment of the imagination as he presents goes against the whole reason we have history. Why do a Roman historical podcast if you’re going to cynically question it?
