The Longest Year in History (2008)

Historia Civilis recently did a great video about this as well: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fD-R35DSSZY

That whole channel is great. It dives deep on details of how roman government and politics worked. It's fascinating and surprisingly relevant to modern US politics. The tactics and strategies from the end of the Roman Republic map quite well to what we see in our[1] republic.

[1] Speaking as a US citizen to other US citizens/residents. I wouldn't be surprised if this also maps well to what other countries with a republic style legislature also see though.

Spoiler alert: it’s 46 BC!

I confess I expected an article about how millisecond adjustments in 2008 made it slightly longer than all other years...

Getting a 404 here.
