An entertaining and informative look at the unique culture of crime, punishment, and killing in ancient RomeIn 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 theater; Claudius was poisoned at dinner; and Galba was beheaded in the Forum.
