520    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 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.
