#443 – Gregory Aldrete: The Roman Empire – Rise and Fall of Ancient Rome
Gregory Aldrete
That there's tons of civil wars where you have lots of different people saying, I'm emperor. So lots of generals declaring themselves emperor. Now, under a polytheistic religion, you're all just fighting. It doesn't matter. But if you say there is only one god – Then if that god picks someone to be his emperor, they're the only legitimate emperor, right?
