(Octavian) Augustus, the initiator in the name of his Adopted Father Julius Caesar is my favourite... I agree tho, bloody brutal days indeed.! Many thanks, Love what you guys do 🙏🏻
I'd really like to interview Nero. I've long wanted to know just what made the guy tick. And the most nagging question of all----whether or not he fiddled while Rome burned, did he actually initiate the great conflagration? Then Constantine, I think---fascinating fellow, his conversion, or at least, acceptance of Christianity, giving the religion protected status, putting it on the road to European dominance, influencing all of Western civilization that followed for centuries to come.
Mary Beard is incredible Note: Perhaps the best way to reform the judiciary is to join the legislature and make whatever judicial and/or constitutional reforms you wish to add into the law that the judiciary functions through.
Tiberius may be the most interesting- a great general and biographers (Tacitus, Suetonius et al) are hostile to him but seem to view him in the prism of who followed him.
Definately not Caligula! I would like to have a jug of wine with Boudicca so I could tell her what the Roman battle plans were and how they would win. That would really change the course of history ...
Mary Beard is just wonderful!!!!!!
I love this woman. The end.

Which Roman emperor would you share a jug of wine with? 🍶
CAESAR obvi
Hadrian...for breadth of vision and experience. Great conversations to be had. Hawtness too. mebbe 3some w/Antinous. ;)
where is the full interview?
Trajan of course. A magnificet ruler, an excelent general and a hard drinker
Tiberius may be the most interesting- a great general and biographers (Tacitus, Suetonius et al) are hostile to him but seem to view him in the prism of who followed him.
I’d drink with Trajan or Aurelian
Maybe it's obscure but in Jewish tradition Titus is quite (in)famous if not the most famous because under him the second temple was destroyed.

Definately...etely....utely...that'll do.
Every answer is just rome was terrible people are terrible now it's just a different time period
Little sexist to say that most roman expresses would have done better than their husband's not sure if it is joke or not in this day and age.
