Welcome to ‘Cyber Security in the Ancient World’. When thinking of communication security, we often think of computer systems, banks, and secret services, like the FBI and CIA. Yet, the Greeks and Roman knew everything about hiding secrets and securing confidential information too. In this series of ten videos, we will discuss ten examples of secret communication in the Greco-Roman world from the 8th century BCE to the 4th century CE. We will see the Spartans and Caesar going to war, cipher codes, invisible ink, love letters, and ultimately: someone carrying his own death sentence without knowing.

When and why did the Greeks and Romans use secret communication? What secrets did they hide from their enemies? We will see this and much more in this series. So, welcome to ‘Cyber Security in the Ancient World’.
