In this newest edition of the A.D. History Podcast, we explore a very unlikely - yet highly revealing - aspect of Roman society, satire. Specifically by exploring one of Rome's most infamous satirists... Juvenal!

For the second segment, Paul breaks down in full exactly how the hell we ended up with the historical concept of the "Five Good Emperors." If you enjoyed our previous episode's interview with Sam Aranow, it would be very difficult to consider the acts of Hadrian as "good." So, what gives? We have the very answer for you!
