History of Rome 539-510 BC

This is the fifth and final episode in our special re-edited Rome series—trimmed and tuned for anyone wanting a clear, entertaining binge through early Roman history. Originally part of our larger decade-by-decade show, this arc gives new listeners the perfect entry point: the fall of the kings and the birth of the Roman Republic.

Detail and fun like you’ll only get at Fan of History, from Dan the Rome Man.

This really is an amazing episode—so many wild things happen!

Unlike some other leaders in our day who bow out gracefully, our guy gets thrown down the steps. And that’s just the beginning of his problems.

And then we’ve got all the good Roman names like:

Tarquinius Superbus
Servius Tullius
Biggus Dickus

I mean come on—where else are you going to get all this??

And just when you think you’ve heard it all… you haven’t. Not until the world’s best salesperson shows up.

Listen all the way to the end—and enjoy!

This is a podcast by Dan Hörning and Bernie Maopolski.
