À propos de cette écoute

Welcome to Episode 7, where we delve into Section 6 of Friedrich Engels’ Origin of the Family, Private Property, and the State, exploring Rome’s transition from a kinship-based gens society to a structured state.

In this episode, we explore how ancient Rome evolved from a gens-based social system, characterized by shared inheritance, religious rites, and exogamy, to a territorial state shaped by new social dynamics. The arrival of the plebs disrupted traditional kinship ties, leading to internal conflict and the introduction of the Servian constitution. This reform redefined Roman citizenship through wealth and territory, reducing the influence of old gentile groups. Join us as we trace the origins of Roman political transformation, setting the stage for the Republic’s rise and its complex history of class struggle and expansion.
