Rome: The World's First Superpower: Death of a Hero

SINOPSIS

We discover the clues to the huge wealth that flooded the Republic at Pompeii and Fidenae and meet the unlikely champion of the people who brought an end to this rampant inequality.
During the mid-second century BC, Rome was enjoying the spoils of war, with slaves, treasure and art pouring into the republic. However, not everyone was reaping the benefit and as the gap widened between the poor and the privileged, resentment was mounting. Larry traces the journey of Tiberius Gracchus, a man from Romeʼs elite ruling classes who eventually came to champion the cause of the common citizen farmer. Along the way, Larry literally dives into the world of the rich by snorkelling through the submerged ruins at Baiae.
