<p>In this episode I tackle the End of the Roman republic, why it happened, why it was Caesar that ended it. I delve into my personal model that describes why the Republic Ended</p>

VI. Background V: The Julio-Claudian Dynasty

Every second Sunday there will be a new episode about Rome around the crucial year of 96 AD, the year in which the Emperor Domitian was assassinated, and a new dynasty would bring the Roman Empire to its greatest extent. 

I will cover Roman history from roughly 68 through 117 AD. We will cover in depth the reigns of the Flavian emperors Vespasian, Titus and Domitian. Then, we will cover the reigns of Nerva, Trajan and perhaps venture into Hadrian, Antoninus Pius and Marcus Aurelius.
