The Roman Republic is collapsing and everything hangs in the balance. It’s a political game of kill-or-be-killed, and Fulvia did not come to play.
You’ve heard of Julius Caesar, Mark Antony, and Cleopatra. But have you heard of Fulvia, who was at the eye of that infamous ancient Roman storm? Our guest Daisy Dunn is an award-winning classicist and author of The Missing Thread, A Women’s History of the Ancient World.
Travel with us to ITALY, to walk in Fulvia’s footsteps! Our new LOST WOMEN OF ITALY Tour is open for registration!
