In this special live episode recorded at the Melbourne Museum we set aside the military narrative to look at something just as fierce: the propaganda war waged between Octavian and Antony in the years before Actium. The insults traded in letters and pamphlets. The coins minted as political weapon. The will stolen from the Vestal Virgins. And the brilliant, ruthless campaign that cast a Roman civil war as a foreign invasion — with Cleopatra as the villain.
