Roman Emperors weren't used to rejection or ridicule. In today's episode, however, Kate is joined by historian and author, Emma Southon, to rate Emperors Otho, Caracalla and Marcus Aurelius against who she would shag, marry and kill. Which would be better for a fling, which would you not touch with a barge pole, and which is marriage material? There's only one way to find out. This episode was edited by Tim Arstall and produced by Stuart Beckwith. The senior producer was Charlotte Long. All music from Epidemic Sounds. Betwixt the Sheets: History of Sex, Scandal & Society is a History Hit podcast.
