Come riuscì Roma a governare per secoli un territorio immenso senza servizi di intelligence moderni e senza poter sapere con certezza che cosa accadeva nelle province, negli eserciti e persino all'interno delle proprie élite?
Questo libro racconta l'Impero romano da una prospettiva poco conosciuta: quella del controspionaggio e della sicurezza interna. Dalla congiura di Catilina alle guerre civili, dalla nascita del Principato al controllo degli eserciti e delle province, emerge un sistema nel quale informatori, reti personali, diritto, amministrazione e sorveglianza permettevano a Roma di individuare le minacce e proteggere la stabilità dello Stato.
Roma non possedeva un servizio di controspionaggio nel significato moderno del termine. Aveva però sviluppato strumenti e pratiche per affrontare problemi ancora oggi familiari: distinguere la lealtà reale da quella apparente, valutare informazioni contraddittorie, controllare comandanti troppo potenti e riconoscere una minaccia prima che fosse troppo tardi.
L'analisi storica conduce infine a una questione più ampia: quanto dipende la sopravvivenza di uno Stato dalla sua capacità di comprendere ciò che accade al proprio interno? Attraverso l'Analisi Istituzionale di Controspionaggio (ICA), l'esperienza romana viene riletta come uno straordinario caso storico di gestione dell'informazione, del rischio e dell'incertezza.
Una prospettiva diversa sull'Impero romano, sulla sua forza e sulle ragioni della sua eccezionale durata.
