That said, in 50 BC the Romans did have a problem, which was ultra-wealthy demagogic elites tearing about their Republic in the single-minded pursuit of power and dominance, which would eventually lead to the republic's collapse and its replacement with a less agile monarchy in 31BC.

Nice one. I’ve liked what I’ve seen of the Morstein Marx. I’ll definitely look into the other two. Thanks!

Tl;dr: Rome matters because we keep choosing to make it matter, because we keep using it as a reference point for power.
We will keep contesting competing interpretations of Rome because we think "the right one" equates to power and legitimate authority.
