My friend asked me to be on her podcast, and since I'm kinda the history nerd in our group she asked me if I could put something together about Roman methods of birth control and such.
Everything I know is anecdotal (I think in Rome, the show, they give someone belladonna to induce a miscarriage) or inference (obviously pull-out was a thing): Could anyone recommend some more reliable sources I might use?
Please and thanks.
