<description>&lt;p&gt;All good things have to come to an end and this is our last episode with &lt;a href="https://www.kent.ac.uk/classics-archaeology/people/1749/burden-strevens-christopher" rel="ugc noopener noreferrer" target="_blank"&gt;⁠⁠⁠Dr Christopher Burden-Strevens ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠&lt;/a&gt;(University of Kent). We're going out with a bang, though, with some expert analysis of Dio's treatment of the Emperor Nero, with all of his proclivities and dastardly behaviour. &lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt; &lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Huge thanks to Christopher and James for a brilliant mini series on Cassius Dio. &lt;/p&gt;
