Hello, this is Abel, speaking from Beijing, China. Welcome to my podcast.
The Tale of Rome, Episode 26 — State of the Union – 390 BC.
Last week we saw how the Gauls of Brennus arrived at the gates of Rome — gates that no one bothered to even close…
This week we’re on our episode 26, which means two things:
◆ ONE – We are going through our second STATE OF THE UNION episode, which this time finds us in the year 390 BC,
◆ AND TWO – We’re at 26 episodes, which is roughly half a year of accrued value. One year – 52 weeks; Half a year – 26. Right?
Alright.
This episode, since it’s going to be a little longer, is going to be split in three main parts.
First, we’ll see what was going on in Rome itself.
From there we’ll go to see the world around Rome, taking out usual eagle’s flight, just like last time.
And just like last time, we’ll do that in a clockwise fashion.
Northern Italy first, then Dalmatia, Macedonia, Greece, Asia minor, Syria and the future Palestine, Egypt, Carthage and North Africa. From there to the Iberian Peninsula, the Gauls, and then back to Rome, seeing if there is anything worth mentioning in the Mediterranean islands: Sicily, Corsica, and Sardinia.
If any region did not go through any real major changes, then that region will not be mentioned in our eagle’s flight, and a good example of this would be Germania and the Netherlands, where there hasn’t been any big changes, this time around.
Last, we’ll see a brief list of the rulers of Rome — from our last State of the Union, to this State of the Union.
That means, we’ll see a list of Consuls, Decemvirs, and Military Tribunes who managed the destinies of Rome during these last 119 years.
Not all of them, but the ones that really mattered.
Alright. Shall we?

◆ 495 BC.
Appius Claudius Sabinus, along with Publius Servilius Priscus. That was when Plebeians withdrew from Rome, and walked to the Mount Sacro, protesting for the differences between Patrician and Plebes.
◆ 494 BC.
Valerius Maximus was erected Dictator. Reason: The conflict of the Orders.
◆ 488 BC.
Gaius Julius Julus. All right — let me say that again… Gaius Julius Julus — not Julius!
He was consul when the Volsci attacked Rome under the command of Coriolanus, the guy whose mom convinced him to stop the attack.
