The original title was going to be Tarquin and the Roman Republic, but I'm saving that in case I ever start a synthpop group.

But anyways, it really is the Roman Republic! We made it, although in all fairness it's not quite the Republic just yet. Not while Mr. I-have-terrible-anger-management-issues is still stomping around!

It's not a podcasting mirage - it really is a new episode! And it's a long'un to make up for all the time we've been apart.

So what do you say? Ready to come back to Rome? Sure you are!
