Can anyone steer me to information and/or books where bank robberies are used in the Roman Empire. I know 'banks' as such did not exist as we know them today and temples were used as depositories during that time. But are there any books or references that speak to robberies or a robbery in Ancient Rome? Please email me at frank@frankfiore.com

Not directly, but Lindsey Davies makes reference to the Roman banking system in several of her novels such as Ode to a Banker. I'm wondering if her sources might be listed publicly. Doesn't hurt to look. Even though most of her books are mysteries they seemed pretty detailed. I seem to recall in Scandal Takes a Holiday reference to funds being kept in temples.

Ruth Downey's Caveat emptor treats of coins, forging, theft...
