Hello everyone, welcome to a new episode of The Decenter. I'm your host as always, Ricardo Lopes, and today I'm joined by a return guest, Dr. Edward Watts. He is Vasiliadis Professor of Byzantine Greek history at the University of California, San Diego. And today we're going to talk about his new book, The Romans, a 2000-year history.
So Dr. Watts, welcome back to the show. It's always a pleasure to have you on. Oh, it's wonderful to be back. I'm so excited to talk to you about the book.
Yeah, so we have a lot to cover today. Let's see how long we can go. So the my first question is, who were or are the Romans? Since in your book you go through 2,000 years of history in Rome, who are the Romans exactly? Yeah, I think this is an excellent question.
