ABOUT THIS EPISODE
In this episode, we explore the Roman Republic's reaction to the Bacchanalian cult in 186 B.C., a moment when fear and a desire for control led to a widespread panic and suppression of religious practices. We examine how the Senate's crackdown on Bacchanalia illustrates the timeless struggle between authority and perceived threats to social order.
