  • Ulpia Severina - The sole ruling roman empress?!

    Ulpia Severina - The sole ruling roman empress?!
    Jan 21 2024
    In this episode, we delve into the intriguing life of Ulpia Severina, a Roman Empress who stands out as a unique figure in the annals of Roman history. While the details of her life are shrouded in mystery, one aspect that sets her apart is the fascinating episode where she may have been the only Roman Empress and, at a certain point, minted coins featuring a transgendered version of herself. Our journey begins by exploring the historical context of Ulpia Severina's reign, placing her within the complex tapestry of the Roman Empire during the tumultuous third century. As the wife of Emperor Aurelian, Severina's position was already noteworthy, but her potential solo rule as empress adds an extra layer of intrigue. The heart of the episode unravels the enigma surrounding the minting of coins featuring a transgendered representation of herself. The discussion touches upon the possible motivations behind this unconventional numismatic choice, considering political, cultural, or personal factors that may have influenced this phenomenon.

  • Black Madonna

    Black Madonna
    Mar 14 2023
    When people think of the Madonna, wherever in the world they happen to be – even in Africa or Mexico, they are unlikely to picture the Madonna as black or Asian, Indian or brown, as Western tradition has created a careful and lasting propaganda of the image of the Virgin Mary with flawless white skin. But actually, there are around 74o Black Virgin Marys in Europe alone and some other black virgin Marys in other parts of the world such as the famous virgin of Guadalupe in Mexico. In this episode I start our journey in Tindari, a town in Sicily because you can find there a very particular Black Madonna, representative of what the black Madonna has come to symbolise.

  • The Metamorphosis of Medusa

    The Metamorphosis of Medusa
    Nov 16 2022
    This podcast explores the myth and history of Medusa from Ancient Greece to the modern world; how she went from protective, caring goddess to horrifying evil monster! Her image has suffered a radical transformation over time because she was feared by men and couldn’t thrive in a patriarchal society. Fortunately, one more time Medusa has taken on another role; so much so that she has become the emblem of the female creative gaze. In this very special episode I've had the opportunity to talk to Luciano Garbati, the sculptor of the statue "Medusa with head", who tells me some pretty interesting facts on how his statue suddenly became a sensation and ultimately came to be associated with the #Metoo movement.
