Every morning, a story from today's news pairs with a moment from ancient Rome that played out the same way. Same ambitions, same follies, 2,000 years apart.
Daily Roman pairs a story from today's headlines with a moment from ancient Rome that played out the same way. One parallel each morning. History, but relevant.
— THE THREAD —
Each morning, we match a story from today's headlines — a political scandal, a market swing, a protest, a war — to the moment in ancient Rome when the same thing happened, and show you how it played out the first time. One story a day, short enough to read over coffee.
— THE ARCHIVE —
Every parallel is saved. Browse past stories by era, theme, or person. Each one expands into a full article written in the voice of the Romans who lived through it.
— THE ACADEMY —
Structured lessons, from the founding of the Republic to the fall of the empire. Quizzes in five formats. Rank up as you go — you'll finish knowing more than you started.
— THE VERSUS —
Emperor vs emperor. Battle vs battle. Vote on the matchups historians still argue about, and see how the rest of the world called it.
— THE MAP —
Walk the empire. Every parallel, every lesson, every figure, pinned where it actually happened.
— ON YOUR LOCK SCREEN —
iOS widgets show today's parallel and the Roman date. Notifications surface each new story the moment it's ready.
Free to use daily. Daily Roman Pro unlocks the full archive, unlimited Oracle questions, and the complete Academy.
Ratings & Reviews
Tons of new features added! The Thread: learn the parallels between today's events and ancient Rome. Versus: compare Rome to modern day armies, cities, and more. Massive update to the quiz generation logic. Fixed some annoying bugs. Generally made the app more enjoyable to use. Hope you love it!
