Are they're listeners, a quick update on Caesars Gaelic War, a new podcast series that were crowdfunding on Kickstarter.

After a week or so the tally is up to 75%, so a big thanks to everyone who's backed it.

Those of you who are considering it, there's

still time, remember this podcast series will be available to supporters only so

if you want to hear about Caesar and his campaign in Gaul, consider going and giving it a pledge. You can find it on

Kickstarter.com search for Caesar's Gaelic war. We'll put links on social media and

you can find it in the description of this podcast episode. And so enough with the Grishyordus plug here's the show.

Avey and welcome to Emperor's of Rome a Roman history podcast from Latrobe University.

I'm your host Matt Smith and with me today is Dr.

This is episode XC IX, Q and A IV.

answered it. Without any more dillying and or indeed dallying, I now give you the program.

soap exists. Anyway, here's the show. The first question that I've got here comes

she a victim of fake news?

It's a good question. And I like the description as scheming sociopathic poisoner, although I should mention at the same time

that her image from I-Claudeus is my little avatar when I open my computer up.
