Well this is load of nonsense. Without any knowledge of the topic you should be able to ask two probing questions: 1. Where does this numerical data come from and how can it be so accurate? 2. Why were the Romans worried before their population had even peaked? #BadAncient

It is #ClassicsTober24 and one of our editorial team @BelovedOfOizys gave today's suggestion of Crassus. She has also written a🚨new #BadAncient article🚨all about his death! Did Crassus have gold poured down his throat? badancient.com/claims/crassu…

Did Crassus have Gold Poured Down his Throat?

It is often claimed that Crassus was killed by the Parthians in a gruesome manner: by having molten gold poured down his throat. But do our sources support this?

The Infected Blood Scandal irreversibly damaged the lives of so many across the country, including constituents in Lewisham North. I'm glad that today the Govt will approve the Infected Blood Compensation Scheme. The scheme will begin making payments by the end of the year.
