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.

The merchandise of many Roman merchants often struggled to sell due to several factors, including oversaturation of certain goods in the market, fluctuations in demand, and economic instability within the empire. Additionally, competition from local producers and the challenges of transporting goods over long distances could lead to spoilage or increased costs, further hindering sales. Changes in consumer preferences and the impact of political unrest also played a role in limiting the success of Roman merchants' products.
