Professor Sheldon uses the modern concept of the intelligence cycle
to trace intelligence activities in Rome whether they were done by
private citizens, the government, or the military. Examining a
broad range of activities the book looks at the many types of
espionage tradecraft that have left their traces in the ancient
sources: * intelligence and counterintelligence gathering * covert
action * clandestine operations * the use of codes and ciphers
Dispelling the myth that such activities are a modern invention,
Professor Sheldon explores how these ancient spy stories have
modern echoes as well. What is the role of an intelligence service
in a free republic? When do the security needs of the state
outweigh the rights of the citizen? If we cannot trust our own
security services, how safe can we be? Although protected by the
Praetorian Guard, seventy-five percent of Roman emperors died by
assassination or under attack by pretenders to his throne. Who was
guarding the guardians? For students of Rome, and modern social
studies too - this will provide a fascinating read.
