The Roman Republic is a fascinating story all on its own, but it also serves as an excellent object lesson in civics.
This video is a Remastered, Definitive Edition of three previous videos from this channel — History Summarized: "The Roman Republic", "The Punic Wars", and "Julius Caesar and the Fall of The Republic". This video combines them all into one narrative, fully upgrades all of the visuals, and adds extra historical notes and clarifications along the way. Please let me know if you enjoyed this, and are interested in more videos like this. There are many historical miniseries on this channel that would fit neatly into a compilation like this, and I'd be thrilled to make them!

SOURCES & Further Reading: Virgil's "Aeneid", Polybius' "Histories", Livy's "Ab Urbe Condita" Plutarch's "Parallel Lives", Caesar's "De Bello Gallico", "SPQR" by Mary Beard, "Rome: A History in Seven Sackings" by Matt Kneale, "Rubicon" by Tom Holland, "The Storm Before the Storm" by Mike Duncan, (and also my degree in Classical Studies).

SECTION TIMECODES:
0:00 1A — The Republic Rises
07:44 2 — The Punic Wars
15:43 1B — The Hellenistic Campaigns
19:28 3 — Julius Caesar

Note for 14:15 — I mention Livy's History Of Rome ("Ab Urbe Condita") by name, but made the lizardbrain mistake of showing Polybius instead. Poor Livy, first 75% of his work is lost, and now this.
