About the Author
Peta Greenfield (Dr. G) holds a doctor of philosophy in ancient history and classics from the University of Sydney and has taught history and literature for over 15 years. She has bylines in Ancient World Magazine, Bad Ancient, Byteside, Classicum, and is the coauthor of Rex: The Seven Kings of Rome. Besides being a cohost of the wildly popular podcast The Partial Historians, Peta has also reached millions through collaboration with TED-Ed. She loves terrible puns and all cats, and finds the Romans funny despite how serious they are.
Fiona Radford (Dr. Rad) holds a doctor of philosophy in ancient history from Macquarie University. Fiona's bylines appear in Ancient World Magazine, Bad Ancient, and Classicum, and she is the coauthor of Rex: The Seven Kings of Rome. For the past decade, Fiona has cohosted The Partial Historians podcast, which has been gradually expanding its influence over all other Roman history podcasts. She laughs way too often and loudly, and usually it is about the Romans. She aspires to be Agrippina the Younger when she grows up.
