Zusammenfassung:	"This book examines the concept of latrones, literally bandits or robbers, and how the term was used in the Roman world of the late Republic and the early Empire (2nd century BC-3rd century AD). Case studies focus on men such as Viriatus, Tacfarinas, Maternus and Bulla Felix, who were called latrones after clashing with the imperial authorities. Special attention is given to perhaps the best-known 'bandit' of all, Spartacus, and to the men who impersonated the emperor Nero after his death."--BOOK JACKET.
