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!

New episodes every other Saturday!

Do archaeologists lick bones?

What can we learn from studying animal remains of the past?

And can we predict the future by looking at earlier climate and migration patterns?

These questions and more are answered in this episode of Let's Dig Deeper, where I talk with zoo-archaeologists Luise Ørsted Brandt (Associate professor at UCPH) and Anne Birgitte Gotfredsen (Senior researcher at the Globe Institute). We take a closer look at what zooarchaeology can teach us and how working with faunal remains can paint a new picture of the past.
