[mukara]

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.
