  • Ransom is the practice of holding a prisoner or item to extort money or property to secure their release, or it can refer to the sum of money involved. In an early German law, a similar concept was called Weregild. Julius Caesar was captured by pirates near the island of Pharmacusa, and held until someone paid 50 talents to free him.
