ancient gangsters

Think organized crime is new? Think again. Meet the
first gangsters who shaped today’s criminal world and

masterminded ruthless strategies.

Before the Mafia, the Latin Kings, the Yakuza, or the Cartels, the
ancient world was ruled by ruthless crime lords who pioneered the art
of corruption, extortion, and violence. Smuggling, human trafficking,
racketeering, assassination - every crime we associate with modern
syndicates was already thriving in the streets of ancient Egypt, Greece
and Rome.

“Ancient Gangsters” is not a history lesson. It’s a gripping true-crime
series that brings these chilling stories to life with the intensity and
urgency of a modern-day crime story.

Through AI-driven interviews and stylized dramatic reconstructions, this
cutting-edge documentary resurrects the most fearsome criminals of
antiquity. Imagine hearing these ancient masterminds describe, in their
own words, how they built their empires. Who says crime never pays?
