pvaneyndWe were watching one of the later episodes of "I, Claudius" when my wife told me that she knew a character. The third wife Messalina is still known in Italy, and the attributes meant with "she is such a Messalina" are pretty much exact: manipulative and wild lifestyle. Of course that is not a surprise from a people that still use "troia" (Troy) in many expletives.
