When you’ve been up to no good, and you get caught out, you have two options. Nero, like Ray, is a Number 2 kind of guy. In this episode, he goes after two significant Stoics, Thrasea Paetus and Barea Soranus, with trumped up charges. And we farewell one of our fans and friends, Victor Santochi. RIP mate.
In the first of several episodes on the “Hellenistic Far East”, we will cover the history of the Greco-Bactrian Kingdom, which controlled the lands of Central Asia stretching from Afghanistan to Kazakhstan during the third and second centuries B.C. As one of the most fascinating yet poorly understood regions in antiquity, we will try to piece together the fragmented history of Bactria and its inhabitants from the invasion of Alexander the Great to the reign of Eucratides I.

Today on the Etruscan Brontoscopic Calendar:
[Saturday] If it thunders today it portends hot weather but not damagingly so; there will be celebrations at the national level
[Sunday] If it thunders today it portends the same thing as the previous day.
