Highwaymen, as they are commonly understood—robbers who steal from travelers on public roads—did not exist in the same form during Roman times. However, banditry and theft were prevalent in ancient Rome, with criminals targeting travelers and merchants. The Roman Empire faced issues with bandits, especially in rural areas and on less-patrolled roads, but these groups were not organized in the same manner as later highwaymen in the 17th and 18th centuries.
