This week we decided to talk about terrible people who lived a long time ago, Ancient Rome to be exact.  That sort of makes it easier to deal with, I think.  Most people don’t feel bad for victims in olden times because they had all probably just gotten done beating their kids or kicking a cat onto a roof.  So listen to the Fell Companions gasp a plenty while we cover the following topics in horrid detail:

• Roman government
• Types of Roman citizens
• The rise of the Emperors
• Caligula (ugh)
• Claudius (double ugh)
• Tiberius (get out)
• Commodus (poor footless soldiers)
• Sejanus (technically it was all legal)
• Nero (I might quit the show)
• Locusta!  At last a hero!
• The big finale – oh, that’s now how I hoped that would end at all.
