The notion that the Romans showed no interest in adequate intelligence servicesor, colloquially, in espionagestems, like so much else in ancient life, from an insufficient or even complete lack of engagement with the ethics and mindset of our ancestors. In reality, the Romansnotwithstanding traditional moral constraints and initial naivetydeveloped a highly effective system of intelligence and security services. The text, enriched with over 250 drawings, diagrams, photographs, tables, and helpful appendices, offers a comprehensive picture of Roman intelligence services from their origins to the fall of the Western Roman Empire and beyond.
