Inventive Moments in History - Mithridates, The Poison King
Added 2019-03-17 16:52:49 +0000 UTCMithridates is one of the most fascinating kings of antiquity. In this video we explore his legacy in the field of toxicology which culminated in his supposed creation of a universal antidote called Mithridatium. It became so popular that pharmacies were even selling it in the last century. For more details on his life I highly recommend the book "The Poison King" by Adrienne Mayor.
