This is the fifth and final episode in our special re-edited Rome series—trimmed and tuned for anyone wanting a clear, entertaining binge through early Roman history. Originally part of our larger decade-by-decade show, this arc gives new listeners the perfect entry point: the fall of the kings and the birth of the Roman Republic.

Detail and fun like you’ll only get at Fan of History, from Dan the Rome Man.

This really is an amazing episode—so many wild things happen!

Unlike some other leaders in our day who bow out gracefully, our guy gets thrown down the steps. And that’s just the beginning of his problems.

And then we’ve got all the good Roman names like:

• Tarquinius Superbus
• Servius Tullius
• Biggus Dickus

I mean come on—where else are you going to get all this??

And just when you think you’ve heard it all… you haven’t. Not until the world’s best salesperson shows up.

Listen all the way to the end—and enjoy!

Episode three of our special re-edited Rome series dives deeper into the monarchy—where assassination, ambition, and unlikely succession plans start shaping Rome into something recognizable. These episodes were originally part of our decade-by-decade podcast, now re-released to let you binge through early Rome without interruption.

Lucius Tarquinius Priscus is assassinated by the sons of Ancus Marcius—but don’t worry, his widow’s got a plan. And what better solution than to make that blessed slave the next ruler of Rome?

It’s Rome, so of course that makes sense. This episode sets the stage for one of the most fascinating and unlikely successions in Roman history. You’ll want to hear how it all goes down.

In order to prepare for episode 219 we are releasing all our previous Roman History episodes.

Was Rome an Etruscan city or a greek one?? Or even a Latin city?

It's a dream come true for Dan! He uses his great knowledge of ancient Rome to tell us more about the early, early days of the city and the legendary king Tarquin. You won't find a deeper dive than this... we have it all... Etruscans, the first Triumph, and War! But he doesn't stop there - oh no, not at all - we have a "disembodied phallus". Yep... that and the world's first tuba. Definitely check it out!

In order to prepare for episode 219 we are rereleasing all our Roman History episodes...

We kick off our special Rome series with the legendary origins of the Eternal City—Romulus, Remus, and all the myth-soaked drama that follows. From wolves and war to kings and augurs, we trace the early stories and semi-historical shadows of Rome’s first rulers, leading up to the reign of Tarquinius Priscus around 590 BCE. Dan leads the way (with great enthusiasm), and this episode sets the stage for everything that follows—from monarchy to Republic, and from myth to history.

The year is 508 BCE, and Athens is a mess. Tyrants have fallen, Sparta’s been meddling, and the aristocrats can’t agree on lunch—let alone a constitution. Enter Cleisthenes with a bold idea: hand power to the people. In this episode, Bernie and Dan walk through the real, chaotic, and sometimes violent birth of Athenian democracy.
