       | The story of Turia, with all sorts of terrible hardships she
       | endured, is told in the second episode [1] of a BBC Radio 4
       | series [2] called "Being Roman" by the English classicist Mary
       | Beard.
       | 
       | The series wonderfully contextualizes the Roman empire and its
       | cultural mix in 8 episodes (~30 minutes each). It uses stories of
       | six individuals from different walks of life; from the emperor
       | Marcus Aurelius, to a (possibly enslaved) child prodigy, to a
       | traveling Syrian man who gets married on Hadrian's wall to an
       | enslaved English girl around 2nd century CE.
