Natalie takes on a truly cold case, the unsolved murder of a
woman called Regilla in 2nd century Rome. She's aided by
detectives Hallie Rubenhold, author of The Five, and Llewelyn
Morgan. Regilla's husband, Herodes Atticus, was accused of the
crime but acquitted, so after looking into the evidence Hallie
and Llewelyn give their verdicts and then the audience makes the
final judgement.

'Rockstar mythologist' Natalie Haynes is the bestselling author
of Divine Might, Stone Blind, A Thousand Ships and No Friend to
This House as well as a reformed comedian who is a little bit
obsessive about ancient Greece and Rome.

Hallie Rubenhold is a historian and a prizewinning, bestselling
author. Her book The Five: The Untold Lives of the Women Killed
by Jack the Ripper focused on the victims’ biographies rather
than speculating on their killer.

Llewelyn Morgan is a Professor of Classics at Oxford University,
and he is interested in basically anything written in Latin. He
has written two Very Short Introductions to Roman poets, one on
Ovid and one on Horace.
