Welcome back to Sistory History!

And we're kicking off season 4 in the proper Roman way with an episode about the salutatio, the early morning client-patron ritual that you should definitely not try out for yourself if you're in any way a fan of a lie-in...

Our sources (and guests) are:

"Commentariolum Petitionis", section IX, by Quintus Tullius Cicero

"To Gallus", epigram 10.82, by Martial

"De Brevitate Vitae", 14.3-14.4, by Seneca the Younger

"Satire 1", lines 95-99 & lines 132-136, by Juvenal

Music credit goes to our two resident composers: Phil Russell & Alice Morgan. You can find Alice on Instagram - missalicekeys.
