Insider trading on commodities? Attempting to kill a public project to manipulate corn futures!

I don't know what the penalty was in Rome, but you'd be up on all sorts of counts for pulling this shit today.

We'd be talking doing major federal time.

Fornicatus maximus.

you are correct in that assesment cladius himself payed 12000 sesterce to each soilder of the Pretorean guard to ensure loyalty bribery is common that is what the statute was in rome and cladius himself would also serve from time as a judge in the courts and preside over cases plus his power as emperor ensured compliance the senate was not loyal to cladius until he expanded membership to those in gaul and hispana the army was loyal becasue of his father and brother status with the troops

@KingDT2007 Alright but that probably didn't end after that. Wouldn't there be a few hefty fines, exile, loss of privileges or citizenship or worse? Corn distributors and bribed builders probably wouldn't bow to Claudius' orders if it was just a dunking.

@Arkady63 bribing an offical in rome meant a rat was placed in a sack tied over your head and dumped in the tiber river

[Jemmer1000]
