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. In one 50-year period, 26 emperors were murdered. But what did killing mean in a city where gladiators fought to the death to sate a crowd? In A Fatal Thing Happened on the Way to the Forum, Emma Southon examines a trove of real-life homicides from Roman history to explore Roman culture, including how perpetrator, victim, and the act itself were regarded by ordinary people. Inside Ancient Rome's darkly fascinating history, we see how the Romans viewed life, death, and what it means to be human. 650 0 $a Murder $z Rome $x History. 650 0 $a Homicide $z Rome $z Rome $x History. 650 0 $a Heads of state $x Crimes against $z Rome. 651 0 $a Rome $x History $y Republic, 265-30 B.C. 651 0 $a Rome $x History $y Empire, 30 B.C.-284 A.D. 651 0 $a Rome $x History $y Empire, 284-476. 651 0 $a Rome $x History. $x History. 651 0 $a Rome $x History. $x History. 655 7 $a True crime stories. $2 lcgft 941 $a 8 952 $l CAPH522 $d 20240104011817.0 952 $l BOPG851 $d 20231010021314.0 952 $l USUX851 $d 20230302014655.0 952 $l FXPH314 $d 20220909064238.0 952 $l GFPE771 $d 20220806013316.0 952 $l OVUX522 $d 20220526020029.0 952 $l BAPH771 $d 20210512010134.0 952 $l GBPF771 $d 20210504013927.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=C01E7E3CAC9F11EBAF53C5C920ECA4DBInitiate Another SILO Locator Search
