In 63 BC, Rome faced a conspiracy that threatened to tear the Roman Republic apart. At its centre stood two figures: Marcus Tullius Cicero, the grand old orator of Rome and Lucius Sergius Catilina, accused of plotting violence, rebellion and the overthrow of Rome’s political order. But was the danger as great as Cicero claimed?In this episode of The Ancients, Tristan Hughes is joined by Professor Catharine Edwards to uncover the truth behind the Catiline Conspiracy. Did Cicero save the Roman Republic in his finest hour, or did he exaggerate the threat to destroy a political rival? Join us to discover the story behind one of ancient Rome’s most notorious political crises.MORE:Cicero<a href="https://podcasts.apple.com/gb/podcast/the-ancients/id1520403988?i=1000641853472" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">Listen on Apple</a><a href="https://open.spotify.com/episode/3CdmAod10lyn66OAZJeTHr?si=dUFXXLckTaaTaKcAxf8rhQ" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">Listen on Spotify </a>Battle of Mutina: Cicero's Fight for the Roman Republic<a href="https://podcasts.apple.com/gb/podcast/the-ancients/id1520403988?i=1000631484836" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">Listen on Apple</a><a href="https://open.spotify.com/episode/3PGmo45PpTi2By3CjIOClf?si=MP878zOvTJuSPz1NYTH-ow" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">Listen on Spotify</a>The Ancients is now on YouTube!
