Previously in our animated historical documentary series on the Ancient Armies and Tactics http://bit.ly/2rKAF1j we have covered the Marian Reforms and their Military Effects http://bit.ly/2PNEi03 However these reforms also had a deep political impact. In this episode, we will talk about the political situation in the Roman Republic prior to the beginning of the Gallic Wars of Gaius Julius Caesar and will give an overview of the Sulla's Civil Wars, Social War, deeds of the Gracchi brothers and Drusus and much more.
