YouTube Description
as posted by the channelThe Rest Is History podcast co-host Tom Holland discusses his book, The Lives of the Caesars, and how it relates to what is going on in the world right now.
The book, originally written 2,000 years ago, became a surprise hit this year when a version translated by Tom was published.
Does its popularity lie in the parallels readers see in the fall of the Roman Empire, Donald Trump, and the direction US politics is taking?
