396 BC. The city of Veii lies in ruins, destroyed by Rome in a brutal act of early imperial expansion. Yet just six years later, Rome itself would face devastation at the hands of invading Gauls, a shock that would shape the city’s identity for generations.In this episode of The Ancients, Tristan Hughes is joined by Professor Jeremy Armstrong to explore the origins of Rome’s empire. From the conquest of rival cities and the trauma of invasion to the development of Roman warfare, politics, and identity, this episode reveals how these early crises set the stage for Rome’s rise to dominance along the Tiber and beyond.MORE:The Kings of Rome<a href="https://podcasts.apple.com/gb/podcast/the-ancients/id1520403988?i=1000593872119" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">Listen on Apple</a><a href="https://open.spotify.com/episode/60sJAHwbJtZYTKHlfRlZ2i?si=jvciSjyEQNqiwoeZyfdf6w" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">Listen on Spotify</a>The Origins of Rome:<a href="https://podcasts.apple.com/gb/podcast/the-ancients/id1520403988?i=1000570651959" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">Listen on Apple</a><a href="https://open.spotify.com/episode/26cmn3eQrPb0LQ7Jiu92cP?si=CSn4m9H5SQiUztvkAmppRw" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">Listen on Spotify </a>Presented by Tristan Hughes.
