THE PRINCESSES ARE BACK! + SLAVES OF ROME | Ep 146 | The Scandal Mongers Podcast

Despite all their recent family scandals, Beatrice and Eugenie attended a high profile royal wedding last week. And Prince William made sure the press could see his friendly feelings toward them both.So is it right that these two young royals should - or could - be back into the fold, and what value could they bring to a rather under-staffed royal family? Or should they be made to stand outside the inner circle as a consequence of their own alleged mistakes, and the sins of their parents?Phil is then joined by Emma Southon, an expert on Ancient Rome who spoke on the podcast two year ago about Roman women. Now she has turned her attention to Rome’s millions of slaves and - in this very entertaining and enlightening conversation - she has a LOT to say about their lives and how historians have tended to romanticise them in the past. Her new book SERVUS can be bought here - in our very own bookshop!...https://uk.bookshop.org/p/books/servus-the-moving-enthralling-true-story-of-slavery-in-the-roman-empire-by-acclaimed-ancient-historian-emma-southon-emma-southon/9691558e7e5e9245?ean=9781399741255&next=t&aid=12054Also, Information and extracts from Phil’s own new book here...https://sites.google.com/view/1945thereckoning/homeYou can order his book on Amazon UK and Amazon Australia, India and NZ - and it is available all around the world as an e-book and an audio book...https://www.amazon.co.uk/1945-Reckoning-Empire-Struggle-World/dp/139971449X/ref=tmm_hrd_swatch_0_encoding=UTF8&qid=&sr=#***We now have a Thank You button (next to the ’three dots’) for small donations that help support our work***Looking for the perfect gift for a special scandalous someone - or someone you’d like to get scandalous with?
