#443 – Gregory Aldrete: The Roman Empire – Rise and Fall of Ancient Rome

11524.888 - 11548.276 Gregory Aldrete

Yeah, this is a real game. Pick your favorite date for the fall of the Roman Empire. 476 is a very common one. And what happens in that year is a barbarian king comes down into Italy and deposes a guy named Romulus Augustulus, which is an amazing name. It's combining the names of the founder of Rome, Romulus, with Augustus, the second founder of Rome.
