Paperback. Condition: new. Paperback. LOCUSTA, THE POISONER OF ROME: The Silent Weapon of Imperial PowerInternational True Crimes In the heart of the Roman Empire, where palace intrigues decided the fate of emperors, one woman mastered the most feared art: poison. Locusta, considered history's first professional assassin, became the invisible tool of power, eliminating political rivals with lethal precision. This book reconstructs her story with rigor and depth, exploring how a marginal figure came to influence the highest decisions of the empire. From the death of Claudius to the poisoning of Britannicus, Locusta operated in the shadows, protected by Nero and feared by all. Her case reveals a Rome where violence was not always public, and where crime was integrated into the logic of power. With a narrative and documentary approach, this volume inaugurates the International True Crimes series, dedicated to the most shocking episodes in the history of crime across different countries and eras: murders, conspiracies, espionage, robberies, kidnappings, and cases that shaped entire societies. Ideal for readers of history, criminology, and true crime, this work offers a unique perspective on the darker side of imperial power. Because understanding the past also means understanding the mechanisms of crime that continue to operate today. This item is printed on demand.

Paperback. Condition: new. Paperback. The Kidnapping of Young Julius CaesarA True Story of Pirates, Ransoms, and a Promise of VengeanceInternational True CrimeIn the mid-1st century BCE, a young Roman aristocrat of about twenty-five set out on a journey through the eastern Mediterranean. He was not yet the celebrated general or the decisive statesman whom history would forever remember as Julius Caesar. He was an ambitious young man in an unstable Republic, sailing waters that Rome believed it controlled. Along the way, his ship was intercepted by Cilician pirates, beginning a kidnapping that would mark his youth.This book reconstructs and organizes the documented facts of the case: the high-seas capture carried out by a structured piracy network, the captivity on a remote island, defined by the hostage's defiant attitude, the negotiations to set and pay the ransom, the role of local authorities and the limits of Roman power, and the promise of vengeance Caesar directed at the pirates who held him prisoner.Drawing on ancient sources and modern scholarship, the book offers a clear, contextualized view of an episode that reveals the fragility of Rome's control over the sea, the economic logic of kidnapping in antiquity, and the character of a young man who-even in the hands of pirates-behaved as someone convinced of his own destiny.A work of historical and criminal investigation-accessible, rigorous, and based on real events-focused on one of the most surprising episodes of Julius Caesar's youth.

Paperback. Condition: new. Paperback. El secuestro del joven Julio Cesar Una historia real de piratas, rescates y una promesa de venganzaCrimenes Reales Internacionales.A mediados del siglo I a. C., un joven aristocrata romano de unos 25 anos emprendio un viaje por el Mediterraneo oriental. Aun no era el general celebre ni el politico decisivo que la historia fijaria para siempre bajo el nombre de Julio Cesar. Era un joven ambicioso en una Republica inestable, navegando por unas aguas que Roma creia controlar. En ese trayecto, su barco fue interceptado por piratas cilicios, dando inicio a un secuestro que marcaria su juventud.Este libro reconstruye y organiza los hechos documentados del caso: la captura en alta mar por una red de pirateria estructurada, el cautiverio en una isla remota, marcado por la actitud desafiante del joven rehen, las negociaciones para fijar y pagar el rescate, el papel de las autoridades locales y las limitaciones del poder romano, y la promesa de venganza que Cesar dirigio a los piratas que lo mantenian prisionero.A partir de fuentes antiguas y estudios modernos, la obra ofrece una vision clara y contextualizada de un episodio que revela la fragilidad del control romano sobre el mar, la logica economica del secuestro en la Antigueedad y el caracter de un joven que, incluso en manos de piratas, se comporto como alguien convencido de su propio destino.Un libro de investigacion historica y criminal, accesible y riguroso, basado en hechos reales y centrado en uno de los episodios mas sorprendentes de la juventud de Julio Cesar.
