Rome – An Empire of Monsters
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.
