Abstract We live in a world where news spreads across the world at the speed of lightning. Alas, this goes for fake news as well as more truthful pieces of information. It is easy to imagine that things have been different in societies with slower means of communication than those of our times, but it seems that the human urge to spread news or gossip has remained constant through history. The fear of this spreading of news, fake or otherwise, seems also to be a constant. This article examines the Roman concept of fama and its role in the dissemination of news.
