Synopsis
CSI: Ancient Rome – discover what everyday killings tell us about the Roman Empire and its people
‘A brilliant idea, brilliantly executed.’ Tom Holland, co-host of The Rest is History
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.
‘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

Hardcover. Etat : Near Fine. No Jacket. 1st Edition. First edition, first impression, illustrated black cloth covers, I think front jacket has design cut out and pasted onto covers. Some very slight edge wear to top and bottom of covers and spine, gilt titling, no price, previous owner's bookplate on ffep, internally clean tight and square, overall a somewhat compromised copy, looks unread. 339pp. In Ancient Rome all the best stories have one thing in common, murder. Romulus killed Remus to found the city, Caesar was assassinated to (unsuccessfully) 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 satisfy 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.
