I was super excited to release our latest "How They Did It" episode on an actual murder investigation from ancient rome. Its amazing to me that this story survived the historical record. It was a TON OF FUN to bring to life and I can't thank our writers and artists who gave this episode their 110% effort. I also owe you all a big thanks for making the production of these episodes possible!

I'll be following up with art assets shortly.

A Real Life Murder Investigation in Ancient Rome DOCUMENTARY

A history documentary on investigating a murder case in ancient Rome. Get Surfshark VPN at https://Surfshark.deals/invicta and enter promo code INVICTA for 85% off and 3 extra months for free! In this history documentary we continue our coverage of Law and Order in Ancient Rome by taking a look at a historical example of a murder case. The story is set in the small town of Knidos on the west coast of Anatolia in a small corner of the Roman Empire during the reign of Augustus. Knidos was usually known as a small, sleepy community until one day a dead body was found on the streets. It is identified as belonging to Euboulous son of Chrysippos. Found outside the house of his rival this seems like no coincidence and a murder is suspected. A mob quickly forms to seek retribution. However things quickly escalate and the Emperor of Rome even gets involved. Its a great tale and one which is worthy of its own tv show epiosode! A big thanks to our fans who actually put together the parody intro based on Law and Order SVU! Stay tuned for more videos on roman history and daily life in ancient rome from our How They Did It series. #Rome #History #Documentary
