EP.237 - DAME MARY BEARD
THE ADAM BUXTON PODCAST
Echoes of Power: From Rome to Twitter
This chapter explores the connections between ancient Roman communication strategies and modern political discourse, particularly through social media platforms. It examines how leaders like Julius Caesar engaged directly with the public, akin to today's use of Twitter, and discusses the consequences of unchecked authority in both eras. Through anecdotes of extravagant Roman emperors, the chapter reflects on public perceptions of power, excess, and the cultural significance of symbols like shoes.
