It was an era known as the Golden Age of Rome, when the republic-turned-empire became the wealthiest and most formidable state in the history of humankind. In this episode, Jacke talks to novelist-turned-historian Tom Holland (Rubicon: The Last Years of the Roman Republic, Dynasty: The Rise and Fall of the House of Caesar) about his new book Pax: War and Peace in Rome's Golden Age. PLUS fellow historian Honor Cargill-Martin (Messalina: Empress, Adultress, Libertine: The Story of the Most Notorious Woman of the Roman World) returns to the show to select her choice for the last book she will ever read.
