Description
In The Londinium Chronicles, Gaius (John Batchelor) and Germanicus (Michael Vlahos) explore the intersections of Roman history and modern geopolitics.
Gaius and Germanicus: The debate shifts to the blockade of the Strait of Hormuz, a financial bane that has already cost nearly a billion barrels in oil losses. Iran's punitive mood and demand for reparations reflect a shift where the US can no longer dictate terms. They identify factionalism and rookiehood within the Imperial Court as a political bane, noting a distinct lack of Roman gumption to secure the waterways. (2)
