Messalina Unbound: The Roman Empress Behind History’s Most Scandalous Contest

Valeria Messalina, wife of Emperor Claudius, became one of the most infamous figures of ancient Rome, surrounded by rumors of excess, power, and public scandal. Ancient historians claimed she organized a shocking public contest meant to demonstrate dominance, indulgence, and defiance of Roman moral ideals. This episode examines the historical accounts behind the legend—separating political propaganda from possible truth—while exploring how gender, power, and hostility toward influential women shaped Messalina’s dark reputation. Her story reveals as much about Roman society and its fears as it does about the empress herself.
