Those About To Die, an original epic drama from Peacock, takes viewers inside the earliest days of sports entertainment and gambling in Ancient Rome. Imagine the Roman Emperor as the league commissioner, the four Patricians are the equivalent of modern-day team owners. In “Those About to Die” Chariot Racers are divided into 4 main factions: The Red, The Green, The White, and The Blue Faction. The Patricians who own these factions can garner enough money and power to challenge the Emperor.

Those About To Die, Peacock’s epic drama set in Ancient Rome, illustrates the power dynamics that are born from the perfect blend of money, politics, and sports. Wealthy Patricians might be the ones bankrolling the racing factions, but it’s the people willing to get their hands dirty who make the games happen.

Archaeologists conducting excavations at the site of a church have unearthed a marble shrine containing a relic that they believe may be tied to Moses receiving the Ten Commandments.

The shrine contained a 1,500-year-old ivory box adorned with Christian motifs, according to an Innsbruck University press release.

The item was discovered by archaeologists from Innsbruck University in southern Austria under an altar inside a chapel at the summit of Burgbichl, a small hill, in the municipality of Irschen.  

Since 2016, archaeologists from the University of Innsbruck have been carrying out excavations in Irschen, which is a part of the Carinthian Drava Valley.

This article contains spoilers for The Boys. For better or worse, that’s a wrap on Season 4 of The Boys. Though each season of Prime Video’s wildly popular superhero satire has only been eight episodes, Season 4 most certainly struggled more than the rest when it came to truncating its story. Still, the series left us with plenty of build-up to Season 5, which will wrap up The Boys’ portion of the Vought story. Fans of the universe need not stress, though. Gen V will continue, and there’s still plenty of room for more spinoffs of the series. In the meantime, let’s take a look at this Season 4 ending and how it sets up the final season of The Boys.

How can Astrology tell you about your worst friends? Astrology is the concept of using the placement of the planets and their related astrological signs, or the Signs of the Zodiac, to determine the course of a life. These placements based on your birth date, time, and location can give you a wealth of information about your personality traits and character and predict events throughout your life based on your sign and current placements. Of course, this is a quick overview, and doing actual natal charts and horoscopes is much more complicated. But now you have a basic idea of what astrology is.
