I am very excited to announce that we have our first interview today with Dr. Frank Russell who is Professor at Transylvania University and researches ancient counterinsurgency, intelligence and frontier studies. In our interview, we specifically discuss the Roman-Jewish war from 66-73 CE and the first counterinsurgency tactics to occur in war. A super interesting interview with many lessons that can be applied to today. In addition we look at the fall of the Roman empire beginning with the Crisis of the third century as the Roman empire continued to suffer internal unrest and outside invasions from barbarian tribes across the frontier. This concludes the three part series into the Roman Empire but will definitely be revisiting in the future!
