THE ROADS TO ROME by @cath_fletcher is out in paperback today with @vintagebooks
'All roads lead to Rome.'

In the third episode of our special series on the Borgias, @sixteenthCgirl is joined again by Prof. @cath_fletcher to investigate one of history's greatest cold cases: the brutal murder of Juan - or Giovanni - Borgia, favoured son of Pope Alexander VI: podfollow.com/not-just-the-t…
