United Statesa month ago - Caracalla IS hot!
I’ve been listening to the show for about a year and have loved every episode! I chose to review now because of Dr. Emma Southon’s hots for Caracalla. I just have to gush that I’ve been saying for years how hot he was and that one reason (of many) I started dating my partner is that he reminded me of Caracalla (luckily nothing like him).
Love the show! Keep it up!
