This video dives into the strange and dramatic final moments of three Roman emperors. First, we explore the sudden death of Emperor Antoninus Pius, who greedily indulged in Alpine cheese at dinner, only to fall ill and die shortly after summoning his council. Next, we uncover the gruesome fate of Emperor Valerian, who was captured by the Persian king Shapur I, humiliated, and ultimately executed by having molten gold poured down his throat. Finally, we reveal the shocking assassination of Emperor Caracalla, who was killed by one of his own bodyguards while stopping by the roadside during a military campaign.
