'Those left cold by the sober tones of scholarship will find this
voice liberating and intoxicating. Its energy is boundless and its
range immense.' Wall Street Journal In Ancient Rome all the best
stories have one thing in common - murder. Romulus killed Remus to
found the city, Caesar was assassinated to save the Republic,
Caligula was butchered in the theatre, Claudius was poisoned at
dinner. But what did killing really mean in a city where gladiators
fought to the death to sate a crowd? Emma Southon examines
real-life homicides from Roman history to take us inside Ancient
Rome's unique culture of crime and punishment, and show us how the
Romans viewed life, death, and what it means to be human.
