No, it doesn't. Time is a construct. The pendulum swings and swings. Flat circle. Galba accuses Locusta of killing more than 400 people and sentences her to death. So she is executed, although it's not known exactly how. There are two legends. The story always begins with her being marched through the streets of Rome in chains. Shame. All of Game of Thrones.
Yep. Some say she is then strangled or burnt or a combination of the two. Public executions are common in Rome and often take place during gladiator games. Like there's that entertainment and circus that you wanted. In addition to burning, other methods of execution include crucifixion, which seems like it's reserved for special circumstances, as well as exposure to wild beasts. That's a hell no.
I mean, they're all hell no.
Well, anyway, that's the end of Locusta's story as we know it, which there isn't a ton. Let's get Jessica Chastain on the line and fucking get an exactly right pictures. Fucking movie out here.
I'm telling you, history for weirdos. They clearly went to school. Unlike us. Should I go there first? Yeah. They know what they're talking about. They're good explainers. They're good explainers. And they like have... off the top of their mind in a way that I don't understand. Because they studied. Because they studied and probably didn't drink themselves into oblivion in their 30s.
Time away from drinking. All of that. The disinterest. Yeah. And I'm fine with that. We're not all supposed to be the same.
I really am. And that is everything we know about the woman who was possibly the first serial killer, Locusta, Poisoner of Rome.
There's a whole time period. Thousands and thousands of years. Thousands of years ago. Okay. Well, good. I'm glad you like that. Yeah, that was great. Thanks. Wonderful. All right. Well, we did it. We got some beautiful. This has been a like huge, well-rounded episode.
Except the ADHD because we were born with it, baby.
So appreciative.
Ceramicists artists for our ninth anniversary. Including Emily, a.k.a. Pottery Mama. Missy, a.k.a. Young Yenta. Sam Riegel with that beautiful mug. And Lindsay Cook with the altered moments. figurine. So good. I've just been like talking to you this whole time and listening to you with these beautiful things behind your head and I'm so distracted and I keep just going, oh.
Definitely. We're interior designers.
That's my specialty.
Just like the early days when Georgia would go to her post office box. And they'd be like, what's murder? They'd get mad about the word murder. I'm being like, listen.
Yeah. Elvis, do you want a cookie?
