Aqua Galatia was a type of poison. It was used to kill Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart. Mozart's wife, Constanze, held back its effects with her love, but not for long.
Brooke 1 used it to try and kill the Fifth Doctor. Her efforts were unsuccessful, and upon drinking it, he claimed that he felt so rejuvenated that he could run a marathon, wrestle a Myrka and then compete in every event of the Alpha Centauri Olympics. (AUDIO: A Requiem for the Doctor)
Behind the scenes[]
It may have been inspired by Giulia Tofana's Aqua Tofana which she sold to women who needed to kill their husbands. It was often disguised as makeup.[source needed]
