You’ve heard about the glory of Rome, Caesar’s stabbing, Nero’s fiddle, Cleopatra’s eyeliner. But this? This is the B-side. The deep cuts.
In this episode, Austin cracks open the marble shell and drags out the weirdest, wildest, most jaw-dropping stories the textbooks skipped.
From soldiers worshipping a bull in candlelit caves, to an emperor who taxed pee, to a queen rumored to kill with figs — this is Ancient Rome like you’ve never heard it.
It’s sex, power, poison, and piss taxes. It’s emperors, cults, and the kind of chaos that makes you realize history wasn’t classy — it was drunk, bloody, and insane.
