What was the extent of piracy in the Mediterranean Sea in the first century BC?

Piracy was obiquitous in the Mediterranean in that era - and from long before to long after it. The sea was always replete with slow-moving vessels, loaded to the gills with valuable cargo and Rome was not in the habit of systematically policing the Mediterranean. Pirates moreover had a wide choice of hard-to-discover coastal inlets where they could hide and from where they could trade the loot.

Even official Roman vessels themselves were not safe: the first century BC saw the ship carrying Julius Caesar be taken by pirates and Julius Caesar could only free himself by paying a hefty ransom amount. Only in this case, he carried out the threat he made during his captivity, that he would return and have every single pirate killed. But in most cases the pirates got away with what they did, which of course served as an encouragement to others.

What sea did the Barbary pirates patrol?
