Killed with a plank of wood from the senate benches because they weren’t allowed swords! The drama! Murder became a solution to political disagreements in Rome.

Listening to some Rome related non-fiction before my trip there as a refresher. While I'm enjoying this, I think I was more looking for something a little more about Roman life specifically. Oh well, it's still interesting.
