Lives of the Late Republic
THE SERIES
Twelve films. One political crisis.
Start the series
Cicero
Release order — the first film in the numbered series.
Read in time
Hannibal → Tiberius
The same twelve lives, lined up by the century rather than by upload.
Together they are one political story: how a competitive aristocracy running a world empire on city-state software produced strongmen, civil war, and a monarchy that refused the name.
Episodes are still in production. Each page collects the full host narration, the chapter spine, maps, and a reading list.
