The Art of Manliness#735: The Conquering Father Who Made an Empire-Building SonIf asked to think about the greatest generals of the ancient world, one name is likely to come to mind first: Alexander the Great — the incomparable military commander who amassed the world’s largest empire by the time he was but thirty years old. A name that probably won’t come to mind, however, is that of Philip the II, Alexander’s father.
But my guest today argues that if Philip hadn’t done all that he did, Alexander wouldn’t have been able to do all that he did. His name is Adrian Goldsworthy, and he’s a classical historian and...

THE SAVAGE NATIONBIDEN THE CONQUERORJoe Biden is now acting more like a Roman emperor with every passing month. He has issued an edict that FBI shall investigate parents who stand up for their children in local school board meetings. Effectively he is criminalizing parents for speaking out against critical race theory which teaches white children they are racist oppressors. And his "tax and spend" liberalism is reminiscent of how Roman emperors used trickery (changing the number of months in a year) to extract excessive taxes from conquered peoples. Savage quotes from a book called "Pax Romana: War, Peace, & Conquest in the Roman World" by Adr...

Knowledge = PowerCaesar: Life of a ColossusTracing the extraordinary trajectory of Julius Caesar's life, Adrian Goldsworthy covers not only the great Roman emperor's accomplishments as charismatic orator, conquering general, and powerful dictator but also lesser-known chapters. Ultimately, Goldsworthy realizes the full complexity of Caesar's character and shows why his political and military leadership continues to resonate some 2,000 years later. In this landmark biography, Goldsworthy examines Caesar as a military leader, as well as his other roles, and places his subject firmly within the context of Roman society in the first century B.C.

2020-11-0557 minHistorically ThinkingEpisode 182: Philip of Macedonia, and SonWhen Alexander of Macedonia took the throne of his father Philip, he inherited an expansive and wealthy kingdom; a hardened and meticulously constructed army; and a cadre of aristocrats and nobles who were used to victory, and wanted more of it. Moreover, Alexander was well-educated—in part by none other than Aristotle himself—and a military veteran.
But when Philip took the throne he possessed none of these advantages. It is impossible to understand the campaigns of Alexander against Persia, and how they transformed Eurasia, without first understanding Philip of Macedon and what he accomplished. Such is the premise of Adria...
