    Why are Techbro Oligarchs so Obsessed with Augustus?

Elon Musk has approximately 14 known children, which he refers to as his “Legion.” Mark Zuckerberg famously took the Emperor Augustus on his honeymoon. And in some of the darker corners of the Internet (and real life), wildly rich techbros openly fantasize about a “Red Caesar” who will come to rule us all. Why is that? Where does this obsession with ancient Rome come from, specifically among our techbro overlords? In this episode, we’re going to attempt to unpack that.

    ⁠Help keep our podcast going by contributing to our Patreon! Slavery touched every part of life in ancient Rome. Depending on the time period and location, as many as one in ten or one in three people was enslaved. How does it warp a democracy when so many of its people are not free? Today we talk to author, historian and podcaster Dr. Emma Southon, host of the History is Sexy podcast and author of Not Built in a Day: How Slavery Made the Roman Empire, to explore this question.

  • The Secret Lives of Julio-Claudian Wives (Part 3)

    The Secret Lives of Julio-Claudian Wives (Part 3)
    2026/07/23
    Help keep our podcast going by contributing to our Patreon! ⁠⁠ In our last episode, Livia and Octavia were at each other’s throats over which one of their sons would be chosen as Augustus’ heir. The unfortunate thing is that the heirs kept dying. Meanwhile, the daughter and granddaughter of Augustus—Julia the Elder and Agrippina the Elder—were the first generations of the new autocracy. They never knew democracy—and from the beginning, they complied with Augustus’ vision for women: get married young, to whoever he told you to, and have many, many children. These girls complied, and paid a terrible price for the kingdom their foremothers built—a price we’re still paying today. Sponsors and Advertising This episode is sponsored by Taskrabbit.
