Episode 3: The Ancient Mediterranean Hosted by Victor Davis Hanson

First Athens and then Carthage built maritime empires, but it was Rome that finally turned the Mediterranean into mare nostrum – “our sea.” By the first century A.D., the Romans’ dominance of the Mediterranean allowed them to create an integrated empire state that stretched some 2,400 miles from Spain to the Levant.
