Class Warfare in Ancient Rome (Conflict of the Orders)
As Rome emerged from the tyranny of kingship into the birth of a young republic, it faced enemies from all sides. But there was conflict within as well, as the poorer class of plebeians realised that they couldn't continue living as they did under the yoke of their patrician overlords.
So for centuries, the ancient roman plebeians fought for their political and economic rights - going so far as to secede from the republic entirely. This video covers the trials and tribulations of the early republic, from the first secessio plebis, through Appius Claudius' oppressive decemvirate to the Licinio-Sextian rogations and the first plebeian consul.

As a history fan this is the kind of stuff that's underrated.
Really enjoy pre-imperial Rome. Tons of info post Ceaser but so much history transpired during the republic era.

Love the Greek and Latin thrown in there. Really sets the atmosphere. Also I didn’t know about Ptolemy using Chi Ro interesting fact.
