The Trojan Games - Part 2
And there’s the name drop.
Also I love the joke that emperor Claudius never shuts up about Etruscans.

Empress Messalina (wife of Claudius) was infamous for her voracious sexual appetite. She would often sell herself on the street like a common whore, and, still unsatisfied after the brothels closed for the night, had to be thrown out.
Her most famous exploit was when she decided to hire a prostitute famous for her stamina and challenge her to a contest to see who could have sex with the most men in one night.
Messalina won.
