Opinions
« on: Wednesday,22, February, 2012, 07:35:07 PM »
So. For my work in progress, I've done quite a lot of research now, including primary sources. Given everything, I'm interested in everyone's opinion on the true nature of Commodus and his immediate family. I have my own opinion, but don't want to reveal and/or spoil, but am interested to see what people have to say on the subject of one of Rome's most historically infamous emperors?

The history of Rome is a subject I am in the process of learning about, but I don't feel qualified to give any sort of valuable opinion as yet. However I will say that there were three rather good episodes of The History of Rome podcast dedicated to Commodus, and if anyone isn't aware of this show I would heartily recommend it:
