An entertaining and informative look at the unique culture of crime, punishment, and killing in ancient Rome
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 theater, Claudius was poisoned at dinner, and Galba was beheaded in the Forum. In one fifty-year period, twenty-six 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 ordinary people regarded perpetrator, victim, and the act itself. Inside ancient Rome’s darkly fascinating history, we see how the Romans viewed life and death and what it means to be human.

The book is good. The narration is not. Here’s an excerpt:
Caesar saw this and pushed a dude called Lepidus to intercept Licinius. So, a third guy, Longinus, grabbed the diadem from Licinius (I’m sorry, they all have virtually the same name) and placed it in Caesar’s lap. Caesar pushed it off, so Antony leapt up - nude and oiled - and put it on Caesar’s head. Caesar snatched it off in horror and lobbed it into the crowd. I find this version very funny, because it’s essentially Caesar fighting off all of his friends trying to put a crown on his head. One of whom has his dick out.
Conversational, colorful, playful. None of these qualities come through in the reading.

Why must we ‘dumb down’ for the common people?
