Listen "Episode CLXVI - The Edict of Sacrifice (Decius I)"
Episode Synopsis
During the early days of his reign, Emperor Decius issued an edict commanding that all Romans should make a sacrifice for the good of the empire. While some happily went along with it, for others it went against what they believed in, and not everyone living within the borders of Rome were happy with the Emperor's wishes.
