In this episode, Jake and Eric spin a tale of the years shortly after the fall of the Western Roman Empire, when Justinian I has to deal with a riot-turned-rebellion in Constantinople as two "demes", the Blues and Greens, attempt to dethrone the emperor.

We follow this up by reviewing Justinian's reforms as well as some of the most important reformers of the Classical World (Cleisthenes, Solon, the Gracchi, and Marius), and even discuss why and how the United States fails to make big leaps in reforms.
