In Ancient Rome, all the best stories have one thing in common--murder. But what did killing mean in a city where gladiators fought to the death to sate a crowd?

In A Fatal Thing Happened on the Way to the Forum, Emma Southon examines a trove of real-life homicides from Roman history to explore Roman culture, including how perpetrator, victim, and the act itself were regarded by ordinary people. Inside Ancient Rome's darkly fascinating history, we see how the Romans viewed life, death, and what it means to be human.

Romulus killed Remus to found the city, Caesar was assassinated to save the Republic. Caligula was butchered in the theater, Claudius was poisoned at dinner, and Galba was beheaded in the Forum. In one 50-year period, 26 emperors were murdered.

An entertaining and informative look at the unique culture of crime, punishment, and killing in Ancient Rome.

"Emma Southon has found a most rewarding path by focusing on real-life murders of the era to illustrate how Romans saw life, death, and themselves. Julius Caesar, of course, earns a chapter, but the author presents an astonishing docket of cases that bring vividly alive (with a dash of wit) what Romans feared the most." (Air Mail)

These are definitely indestructible
Size: Medium
Both of my dogs can destroy a ball in a matter of minutes if I let them play with them (supervised) as is. Well not with these balls. They are the ONLY ones I have found that are 100% indestructible. Please only let your dogs play with these as a toy when supervised though. They go really far when throwing them, so both dogs get a good amount of running and exercise with these. I also bought these because they have the hole in the middle of the ball which is very important in the event that a dog gets one stuck at the back of their throat. This allows them to breath unlike those without this hold. It's an unlikely event, but as dog owners, we all need to be aware of this and educate ourselves on what to do if this SHOULD happen. This isn't a scare tactic, nor a reflection of this particular brand, it can happen with any type of ball. My two dogs are about 45ish lbs and the size is perfect for them, I don't want anything smaller than this. They love them. There is no annoying squeak. Really easy to wash after use. Some balls take forever to get the slimy saliva off, but these don't.

Love these spoons!
Material Type: Plastic
Have ordered these spoons a couple times over the past few years. They really are sturdy and great quality I just hate that since the pandemic they went from $13 for a box of 1000 spoons to $27 but like everything else around us, the price has risen astronomically! Anywho, we’ve used them for Thanksgiving, Christmas and everything in between. My daughter uses them every night to scoop out cat food like someone else mentions. We have two cats and we don’t want to dirty up a spoon ever night for their nightly feeding when we divide a can of kitty food between them. I’ve used the spoons to mix resin, paints among other crafts and they’ve always held up without bending. Truly their worth the price but man it hurts the pocket when everything we buy right now has doubled to tripled in price now! (Even that dad-limb cat food! Lol) But if you can swing the cost I can promise you it’s worth it. They hold up well for hot soups and those big scoops of banana pudding like mine that is heavy! I’ve bought their forks once and they are just as good but we go through spoons so much more around my house.

Love these plastic spoons. Bonus - need no washing!
Material Type: Plastic
Excellent product, these spoons aren’t small for teaspoons like other brands. They’re strong enough for all types of food and never bend it break. Also, the price is right for so many spoons. I always by this brand.
