    More like “tried to follow procedure, but the establishment broke it over and over to stop them until nobody had any faith in the system left”. “Storm before the storm” by Duncan is a great book covering it.

      yeah it’s been a while since I listened to the part about the Republic lol

      I’m currently at episode 34 of “The History of Byzantium”

        It’s a pity he didn’t carry on into Byzantine history. Though his Revolutions is also superb.

          ye I actually listened to the Oktober revolution part of that podcast before switching to “The History of Rome”

          also the host of “The History of Byzantium” is doing quite a good job too, would recommend

          though I do understand Duncan for setting the cut-off point where he did instead of the early 15th century 💀

            Heh, the “Mike becomes a commie” series is his masterwork.

            Pierson also does great work, I was some 200 in myself when I trailed off.
