In this clip, Julian Dorey sits down with ancient history expert Toldinstone to break down the realities behind Ancient Rome and Sparta.
The conversation explores why Rome fell, what Sparta was really like beneath the myths, and how figures like Plato interpreted power, society, and human behavior.
They challenge common narratives taught about the ancient world and dive into what history actually shows—revealing how culture, politics, and internal weaknesses shaped the rise and fall of civilizations.
