Sumer break is over so I'm back! This episode was a tough nut to crack, it was a challenge to explain republican politics, class power struggles and citizenship in just one episode, so it's all a bit simplified. If you had enough of politics, don't worry: next episode we're going to talk about the Roman legions!
