According to the BBC, a bomb threat has been tweeted to Mary Beard.

I'll be honest here: I don't get it. Why in the world would a historian be threatened? What could a classicist possibly do that would deserve death threats? I know in the world of academia things can get rather nasty, but Beard is basically a popularising historian, or a historian for the masses. I wouldn't consider her controversial in the least. Am I missing something?
