Episode CXXI - Assassination

from Emperors of Rome · host Dr Rhiannon Evans

Assassination was a regular occurrence in the right Roman circles, and the gossip around the senate floor must have frequently turned to who's knifing who. An emperor would need to keep the senate, the army, and the people on side, or risk a well-placed dagger.
