PERPETUA AND THE RISE OF CHRISTIANITY Colleague Emma Southon. The final segment discusses Perpetua, a young nursing mother and Christian convert in Carthage. Defying the Roman mandate to sacrifice to the emperor, she views suffering as redemptive rather than a punishment. Unlike Romans who viewed suicide by poison as honorable, Perpetua and her slave Felicity choose martyrdom in the arena, having their throats cut to demonstrate their faith, signaling the rise of Christianity.

QUEENS OF BRITAIN: CARTIMANDUA AND BOUDICCA Colleague Emma Southon. This segment contrasts two British queens: Cartimandua and Boudicca. Cartimandua, queen of the Brigantes, collaborates successfully with Rome, understanding they are "not to be defeated, they're to be pleased." Conversely, Boudicca represents resistance; provoked by Roman mistreatment, she leads a rebellion but is defeated. While Tacitus claims Boudicca committed suicide to preserve honor, English schools celebrate her as a symbol of resistance against tyranny. NUMBER 14

Wir sprechen in dieser Folge über den Untergang der antiken Stadt Pompeji, aber auch über die Ausgrabungen, die die Stadt nach hunderten von Jahren wieder zutage förderten. Im Zuge dieser wurden nicht nur die diversen Tempel, das Forum oder öffentliche Bäder, sondern auch ein ganz bestimmter Gebäudekomplex ausgegraben. Es ist die Anlage der Julia Felix, über die wir zwar relativ wenig wissen, deren unternehmerische Tätigkeiten uns aber Aufschluss sowohl über die Möglichkeiten von Frauen in der antiken römischen Gesellschaft, als auch über einen ansonsten wenig beleuchteten Teil der römis...

Sentimental GarbageWho's That Girl with Mhairi McFarlaneCW: Suicide. This week we're joined by author, historian and bookseller Emma Southon in the rather fitting setting of my hotel room to talk about Mhairi McFarlane's WHO'S THAT GIRL?, an extremely funny romcom about Edie, a 30-something copywriter who falls in love with Elliott, the movie star she's been sent to ghostwrite a memoir for. We talk about movie stars, Game of Thrones, terrible celebrity profiles, the role of chick-lit when trying to unpick "having it all", dating famous people and why there aren't any chick-lit books about beards. Emma Southon is the author of AGRIPPINA: Empress, Exile, Hustler...

Geschichten aus der GeschichteExtra: Dr. Emma Southon on Agrippina the YoungerA bonus episode featuring historian Dr. Emma Southon telling the gripping tale of Agrippina the Younger
In dieser Bonus-Episode ist das (beinahe) ungeschnittene Gespräch mit Dr. Emma Southon über Agrippina die Jüngere zu hören. Wer sich die reguläre Episode ZS183 dazu noch nicht angehört hat, kann das tun, muss es aber nicht.
Das Gespräch ist auf Englisch, damit ist es dann auch die erste Zeitsprungepisode die gänzlich in englischer Sprache ist (bis auf Bruno Kreisky, der weiterhin beim Deutschen bleibt).

Geschichten aus der GeschichteGAG183: Agrippina die Jüngere, mächtigste Frau der frühen KaiserzeitEine Geschichte über eine der mächtigsten Frauen der Antike, die unter anderem Schwester, Nichte, Frau und Mutter diverser Kaiser war.
Wir springen in dieser Folge wieder mal in die Antike, und zwar in die frühe Kaiserzeit, also jene von Caligula, Claudius und Nero. Allerdings sprechen wir weniger über diese Männer, und mehr über jene eine Frau, die all diese Männer verbindet: Agrippina die Jüngere.
Zur Unterstützung ist diesmal Dr. Emma Southon mit dabei, die mit ihrem im Jahr 2018 veröffentlichten Werk über Agrippina die wohl unterhaltsamste Bearbeitung dieser komplexen Person geschrieben hat.
