Episode description

 

The murder episode! One one side we have the Basano Vase, a supposedly cursed vase from 1400s Italy. One the eve of her wedding, a bride to be was slain. Was it the work of this cursed vase, or did she instill the curse with her last breath? Nearly 500 years later the vase was found once again. Commence the murderin'.

During the Punic Wars between Rome and Carthage, the Kingdom of Syracuse saw a target on it's back, as Rome wanted total control of Sicily. Luckily for Syracuse, famed mathematician Archimedes just happened to be enjoying retirement in the city. Stories of wild inventions such as his heat ray echo through time. Is there any evidence for this legend? Commence the burnin' of Roman war ships with polished bronze shields.
