Lex Fridman Podcast
Rome's Strategy for Success
- In its empire phase, Rome incorporated conquered people by making local leaders part of its power structure.
- They took the sons of barbarian chiefs and raised them as Romans.
- They gave citizenship to conquered areas, so Roman emperors and senators came from diverse backgrounds like Spain, North Africa, and Germany.
- This open approach to including foreigners and making them integral to the empire was crucial for Roman success.
