Mental Illness and Insanity in Ancient Rome

Christina Videbech, postdoc at the university of Bergen in Norway and co-author of the book Fire of The Mind, joins Let's Dig Deeper podcast. In this episode, we take a closer look at mental illness and insanity in ancient Rome. Did the Romans do therapy? Were Nero and Caligula really insane, or just insanely misunderstood? And could it be that Emperor Tiberius wasn't a monster, but just autistic? These are some of the questions we tackle in this episode!
