    LOL - Morgana, as usual, brings up something interesting . . . it was almost a throwaway in last episode, that Jocasta's father was put on the list by Atia, and that the girl stumbled into Atia's house after her family was murdered (for their money) in the proscriptions and she'd been gang-raped. Marrying her to a SLAVE? But then, considering how Romans felt about raped women, I suspect her chance for a good marriage (as Vorenus feels about Vorena) is gone forever, so ANY husband might be considered better than none?

    But Posca? What an unpleasant 'reward' for good service! (I've loathed Jocasta since her first episode)

    I'm with Morgana and Gnaeus, wonderful "enfants terribles". When you realize those three boys really DID run the Empire more or less for the next 30 years, it makes one think. I particularly loved the episode where Cicero was pontificating to them with such condescension - as usual, poor Cicero - "outmanouvered by children".
