Meet Rome’s Most Scandalous Empress | Sex: A Bonkers History 101

Dan and Amanda look at how attitudes towards sex differ drastically before the intervention of Christianity. Kicking off the episode in ancient Sparta, Amanda trains as an ancient Spartan woman, with British Olympic medallist weightlifter Emily Campbell, by taking part in discus, javelin and wrestling to show how the women of ancient Sparta were just as kick-ass as the men.
