    <p>Host Reed Galen is joined by Josiah Osgood (Professor of Classics at Georgetown University) to delve into how the political rivalry between Julius Caesar and Marcus Cato devolved into a toxic polarity which precipitated the end of the Roman Republic. They discuss how each actor came to power, what positions they ultimately stood for, their downfall, and what parallels we can make to our nation’s current political landscape.
