Pirates, it is frequently claimed, have existed since the dawn of history, as long as there has been traff ic and commerce at sea.1 Presumably, the origins of piracy would thus be sometime in the pre-historic past, when people f irst took to the sea for commercial purposes, probably around eight thousand years ago, along the coast of the Persian Gulf.2 Historical records over close to three and half millennia, from ancient Egypt to the present, seem to provide documentation of piratical activity from all around the world. Piracy would appear to be ubiquitous across a very longue durée in the history of humanity, and only with the projection of sea power by major states and empires, whether ancient (when Rome or Srivijaya controlled their adjacent seas) or modern (when Great Britain or the United States did so) was piracy eff iciently suppressed, at least temporarily.
