Murder in the Roman World

42 min•30 maj 2023

The Ancient Romans are often thought of as ahead of their time. They invented concrete, sophisticated road systems and even underfloor heating.


But their approach to murder is starkly different to how the modern world recognises it, and frankly, it’s a bit weird. These people saw 26 emperors murdered in one 50-year period and would watch people being killed for entertainment in the Colosseum.


Today Kate is Betwixt the Sheets with Emma Southon to talk about murder in Ancient Rome.
