## Resource

This topic is so big I've split it across two episodes. I'd recommend listening to part one first for the full historical context, but you should still be able to follow along fine if you jump straight into this one. The guest is French author Laurent Guyénot , who's written extensively on the history of the Roman Empire and its relationship with Paganism, Christianity, Stoicism, and Judaism. He presents a challenging, revisionist narrative—one that might make some uncomfortable—but that’s exactly why it’s worth hearing. 🏡 https://radbodslament.substack.com ➡️ jermwarfare.com ➡️ ukcolumn.org
