Citizenship Was Never About Rights: The Brutal Math of Ancient Greece & Rome
Citizens in the Graeco-Roman World
Think citizenship is about human rights and democratic ideals? The data says otherwise. This video dives into the academic work 'Citizens in the Graeco-Roman World' to expose how ancient societies used citizenship as a cold, calculated tool for managing trauma, resources, and power. From Athens' genetic blockade to Rome's 25-year blood-for-passport scheme, we break down the real operating manual of inclusion and exclusion that still shapes our world today. Featuring insights from historians like Maurizio Giangiulio and Lucia Cecchet, this isn't a history lesson—it's a reality check.
