Legends of Ancient Rome: Coriolanus

This episode is going to explore the early Roman legend of Coriolanus based in the early republic and in doing so attempt to separate history from myth.


Some character names of this legend differ from source to source so this video used the ancient historian Livy's version to settle these discrepancies.
