Episode description
As a cohort of citizens stand up in the face of injustice to protect one of their own, we delve deeper into history to discover parallels from the Roman Republic which echo into Cold War-era America. But what does the life of a Thracian-born slave have to do with modern day socialist uprising? Did the gladiators escape from slavery using kitchen utensils? Were they able to hold their own against the Roman legions? And did they really yell, "I'm Spartacus!"? Join us to find out on That's Not How It Went Down!
