- Today's episode is all about the Ancient Roman legal system and the crimes that riddled the city during its imperial years. From petty theft to an emperor committing violent assault in the dead of night, this episode unpacks it all. Joining me today is Dr Jerry Toner of Cambridge University. Dr Toner is author of many books intended for the general public, including "Infamy: The Crimes of Ancient Rome". It's this book that we'll be using to bring out some of the most wild ways crime was handled in the ancient city.

Any time you cover Ancient Rome you know I’m all for it! I hadn’t heard of “Infamy” yet, but now I can’t wait to read it!!! I find topics like this fascinating! I actually have Dr. Toner’s “The Roman Guide to Slave Management” which is incredible, so cool to get to hear him discuss Rome and Roman crime & punishment!!!
ALL of Dr Toner’s books are GREAT!
Thanks for the home work again miss Teach two more books thanks for this prayers and blessings to you and your family love your Aussie family friend John looking forward to reading these books ❤❤❤

@@MoAnInc 🍎🍏🍎🍏this is for you miss teach
@@MoAnInc I don’t know if you’re into RUclips channels, but I would recommend taking time to look at how Rome conquered Greece by the famous Kings and Generals, as well as their current ongoing series about the Civil War within the Roman Republic between Pompeii Caesar, and now between Octavian and Marc Anthony
It's amazing to think that this city operated without a police force or prison system for 1,000 years, with a peak population of around 1 million. Ultimately, it was one of the factors in the downfall, and especially in the dying days of the Republic as armed political gangs ruled the streets, particularly the famous battles between the gangs of Clodius and Milo.
Suetonius is an interesting figure, and he's believed to be the first to have incorrectly quoted Caesar as he crossed the Rubicon.
"Alea iacta est" were in fact not the words he spoke, though similar in meaning. He truly said "Ἀνερρίφθω κύβος (Anerriptho kybos)" lifted from Menander's works. The main difference between the two is the context. Latin is past tense, where as Greek is present-tense, and refers to the dice as still flying/rolling.
What a great coincidence! I just got a book on the various trials in ancient Athens. This interview rather neatly ties in! Thank you!
Can I ask what the book is called please? Would love to read something similar about Greece!
🤩✨‼️
Apologies for delay in response! I didn't get notifications about activity, for some reason.
Dr Kathleen Freeman's Murder of Herodes and Other Trials from Athenian Law Courts. Another title that looks interesting is Trials From Classical Athens by Christopher Carey.
Cheers!
