Lance is a former military man who has learned a lot about war, the classical world, and the possible bridge we should build between vitalist men and Christian men. The conversation was a lot of fun and I think that you will learn a lot from Lance!

Here are the questions that I sent Lance before we spoke:
1) Introduction to Lance Legion--who are you (not asking for dox, etc, but whatever you want to say) and what is the purpose of your project?
2) You have said that you prefer the Romans over the Greeks; why is that?
3) Let's talk about a Grek man of power: Agamemnon. We will rehabilitate this great man's reputation!
4) Let's talk about a Roman man of power: Julius Caesar. I know that you have done a lot of work on him, so maybe you could walk through a couple of moments / aphorisms that you find especially powerful or illuminating.
5) I know that you discussed this with our mutual Ancient Gardener on your show, but I wonder if we could discuss the Vitalist / Christian synthesis question a little bit.
