You should have included some facts about Clodius' economic status.

Fulvia continued being a radical political force by marrying Curio then Marc Antony in turn and financing their efforts .

I know you probably do not take suggestions, but I'll say my idea anyway. You did videos on how the Roman Senate functioned during the Roman Kingdom and Roman Republic, but, if I am correct, the Senate was not destroyed at the creation of Roman Empire. It still continued as a body, with elected consuls and such, until Justinian did away with it. I think they even still got to choose governors for some of the more stable provinces, like Italia, Macedonia, Achaea, Sicily, etc. Thus, a video explaining the purposes of the Imperial Senate would be very nice.

Yet another amazing video

I took Latin in high school and love Roman history but even I never fully understood the animosity between Clodius and Cicero. I read plenty of speeches where Cicero was flaming Clodius and Clodia brutally (and sometimes unfairly) but I never found out why precisely they hated each other so deeply. You've given me closure for something that's been niggling at me for over a decade!
