Rome Vs The Etruscans Part II: Ride or Die
In this episode Ben and Pat continue the story of Rome versus the Etruscans.... The siege is over—but the danger is just getting started. With Rome teetering between freedom and destruction, a group of young hostages is handed over to an enemy king as part of a fragile truce. But when one of them—Chloelia—leads a daring escape across the Tiber River, all hell breaks loose. This is the story of Rome’s fiercest teenage heroine, a hostage ambush, a horse that may or may not swim, and the moment when a king realizes he’s fighting a city that just won’t die. Featuring backstabbing monarchs, accidental diplomacy, and the most badass statue in early Roman history.
