| Summary | "La piraterie dans l'antiquité" by Jules M. Sestier is a historical account written in the late 19th century. The book explores the origins, evolution, and impact of piracy in ancient Mediterranean civilizations, emphasizing how it was intertwined with social structures and maritime trade. Sestier delves into the cultural and historical contexts that allowed piracy to flourish, suggesting that it was often considered a legitimate practice in the early stages of societal development. The opening of the book discusses the fundamental connection between piracy and the primitive state of human civilization, particularly highlighting that piracy emerged as a necessity for survival among early maritime peoples. The author articulates that, during prehistoric times, piracy was not viewed as a crime but as a means of acquiring essential resources, akin to warfare on land. Sestier further outlines how the evolution of human societies, the rise of commerce, and changes in social structures gradually transformed piracy into a recognized threat, ultimately leading to its repression in later historical contexts.
