    What was corruption like in the ancient world - and how can studying it help us make sense of shady dealings in the 21st century? Matt Elton speaks to Shushma Malik, Marta Garcia Morcillo and Yehudah Gershon - three researchers behind the AHRC/DFG project "Twisted Transfers: Discursive Constructions of Corruption in Ancient Greece and Rome", to reveal more about ethics, immoral and abusive behaviour, collective values, and the dark side of profit and power in the ancient world.
