Fake news og “alternative fakta” er et stort problem i nutidens verden, men fænomenet er langtfra nyt. Omkring 400 e.Kr. satte en romer sig til at skrive sin egen alternative version af historien fra 117 til 284 e.Kr., hvor han præsenterer læseren for et Romerrige i indre opløsning regeret af halvgale, blodtørstige kejsere omgivet af liderlige og manipulerende kvinder. Sin fremstilling underbygger han med dokumenter, som han selv har opdigtet, og citater af personer, der aldrig har levet. Så dygtig var falskneren, at hans fake history først blev afsløret halvandet årtusinde senere. I mellemtiden havde hans kulørte sladderhistorier om de romerske kejserfamilier etableret sig i historiefortællingen, i en sådan grad, at de fortsætter med at præge vores billede af senantikkens Rom.
Tønnes Bekker-Nielsen er dr.phil. i antikkens historie og underviste gennem tredive år ved Universitetet i Bergen og Syddansk Universitet. Fra 2012–2015 ledede han feltprojektet Where East meets West i det nordlige Tyrkiet. Han har udgivet adskillige bøger om antikken og er medforfatter til Gads Historieleksikon. Hans bog Mare nostrum: Romerne og Middelhavet blev nomineret til “Årets historiske bog” 2018.
