This week, we chat with Dr Fiona Radford and Dr Peta Greenfield (AKA Dr Rad and Dr G, the Partial Historians) about their new book Rex: The Seven Kings of Rome. Much to Ali's surprise, before the Emperors and before the Republic, ancient Rome was ruled by kings. From Romulus and the founding of Rome to Tarquinius Superbus and the fall of the kings, we learn about the kings and the early history of Rome, then decide how well the kings would fare under the Rex Factor criteria.Find out more about the Partial Historians and their podcast at their website: https://partialhistorians.com order their book https://highlands-press.com/product/rex or follow them on social media:Twitter - @p_historiansInstagram - @partialhistoriansPG Warning - as this is the Romans, there's some adult content (sex, murder, etc.) Hosted on Acast.
