The tumultuous politics of the late Roman Republic gave rise to a truly terrifying figure in Latin literature: the hideous and necromantic Roman witch. In this spooky season three finale, we meet Horace's Canidia and Lucan's Erictho. Poison, blood, and prophecies from the undead: what else could you ask for in ancient Rome?
Researched, written, and produced by Corinne Wieben with original music by Purple Planet.
