ACOUP - The Queen’s Latin or Who Were the Romans, Part II: Citizens and Allies

With Rome’s origins established, Bret now turns to look at citizenship. What did citizenship mean and how was it defined in the ancient world? How did Rome differ from this model, and what did those differences mean for Rome’s impacts on the world stage?

The text for this recording is from A Collection of Unmitigated Pedantry, the blog of history professor, Bret Devereaux, whose work you should absolutely support with your eyes, your clicks, and, if you are able, your bucks.

Gaelic (proto-Irish) and Gallic (proto-French) are different things. The article spells Gallic correctly but the video pronouncing it as Gaelic is confusing.
