Augustus was Rome's first Emperor. But who made his empire possible? Behind the throne stood Marcus Agrippa, the brilliant general whose victories secured the Roman world yet whose name was consciously erased from the record by his erstwhile great friend.In this very special episode Tristan Hughes is joined by bestselling author Robert Harris to uncover the remarkable life of Agrippa. How did a man from relative obscurity become Augustus’s most trusted ally? What role did he play in the victory at Actium and the birth of the Roman Empire? And why did this extraordinary figure disappear from Rome’s public memory?MOREHow Slavery Built the Roman Empire<a href="https://podcasts.apple.com/gb/podcast/how-slavery-built-the-roman-empire/id1759820234?i=1000783542515" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">Listen on Apple </a><a href="https://open.spotify.com/episode/2OgRYSNy3KOXOh6zWd0BCE?si=2lpCp1x5RlCk1AYaHHTA0w" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">Listen on Spotify </a>Young Caesar v Mark Antony<a href="https://podcasts.apple.com/gb/podcast/the-ancients/id1520403988?i=1000554594606" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">Listen on Apple </a><a href="https://open.spotify.com/episode/1moyibnoOT22HpPbsKS6Zm?si=lGWQoZQTR9S8SeYVomXHgA" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">Listen on Spotify </a>The Ancients is now on YouTube!
