Über diesen Titel

Ancient True Crime is a true crime and history podcast uncovering the murders, conspiracies, and criminal plots that haunted the ancient world.

Long before fingerprints, detectives, or forensic science, there were killers in palaces, poisoners in courts, assassins in temples, and betrayals that reshaped empires. These are the original crime stories—recorded in ancient trials, chronicles, inscriptions, and eyewitness accounts.

Each episode tells the full story behind a real case from ancient history, exploring historical murders, political assassinations, poison plots, court conspiracies, and acts of betrayal from Greece, Rome, Egypt, Persia, China, and beyond. You’ll hear how crimes were committed, discovered, punished, concealed, or exploited in societies where justice depended on power, status, and fear.

Through narrative storytelling and historical sources, the show examines ancient true crime, early justice systems, power and violence, and the timeless human motives behind history’s darkest acts: ambition, jealousy, revenge, greed, and survival.

This isn’t myth or legend. It’s true crime in the ancient world, told with historical rigor and the suspense of the best crime storytelling.

If you’re fascinated by true crime, ancient history, murders in history, assassinations, poisoners, court intrigue, political crime, and the dark foundations of civilization—this podcast is for you.

Ancient True Crime Before law. Before forensics. There was still murder.
