Description
We're on hiatus until September 2. Until then, please enjoy some of our favorite episodes from the back catalog.
Close your eyes and imagine a loving family. Devoted parents and six children: three happy brothers and three happy sisters. The father, Germanicus, is a war hero—beloved by the people, and next in line for the throne. Life is good. Life is perfect.
But nothing good can ever stay. It begins with a cough—a funny turn—and suddenly the family of Germanicus is torn apart, caught in the political riptides of Imperial Rome.
This dynasty would give rise to two of Rome’s most infamous emperors and some of its most legendary women—before it ends in tragedy.
