Is democracy the best system of government? Is it at least better than autocracy? How do we know for sure? On this channel, we cover Greco-Roman politics and political theory. The ancients were just as concerned with the role of government in society as we are. By studying ancient politics, we can better understand how modern political movements were invented and why they became popular. Join us as we explore how great figures like Alexander the Great and Julius Caesar changed the face of the ancient world, and gave birth to modern political theory.
