On today's episode, we explore how Rome dealt with the so-called "barbarians" who shaped its rise.
From the Greek idea that anyone outside their polis was a barbarian (bar, bar, bar...), to Rome's practical alliances with these tribes, we dive into the myths, wars, and politics that defined ancient history.
