Join us this month as we discuss our October pick, Messalina: The Life and Times of Rome’s Most Scandalous Empress by Honor Cargill-Martin. Don your togas and enter the toothless Senate as Victoria and Katherine opine on the horrific ideal of Roman womanhood, the author’s deft handling of sources, and the value of finding women’s agency in historical narrative. If you haven’t picked this one up yet, what are you waiting for?
