    In today's episode, Rome rises from the ashes of Gallic devastation to rebuild not just its walls, but its very identity. We follow the chaotic reconstruction of the city, the construction of massive new fortifications, and the bitter political struggle between patricians and plebeians that transforms Rome into a more inclusive republic. From the tragic fate of hero Marcus Manlius to the groundbreaking Licinian-Sextian laws, it's a story of resilience, adaptation, and the painful birth of a stronger Rome. And as ever, it's all told in accessible, learner-friendly Spanish.
