    AUGUSTUS AND LAW-MAKING Elizabeth Clare Tilson Doctor of Philosophy University of Edinburgh 1986 ABSTRACT The aim of this thesis is to establish the significance of the Augustan period in the history of law-making and of various important areas of Roman Law. Clearly, the demise of the Roman Republic and the emergence of a princeps could not fail to be reflected in a system which had evolved, along with the Republic itself, over five centuries, and which was, therefore, closely linked with Republican institutions and processes. The varied Republican channels of law-making continued to be employed under Augustus, but never before had one man enjoyed sufficient power and auctoritas to enable him to oversee a large law-making programme as Augustus did. In chapter 1, i survey briefly the many enactments which are attributed in the evidence to the Augustan period after about 19 B. C., particularly those which can confidently be categorised as statutes, senatusconsulta or edicts, in order to see what happened to the Republican sources of law under Augustus and to look at the sorts of issues which were regulated by law during the Augustan period. The remaining chapters are devoted to the most important and best documented Augustan statutes, the lex Iulia de maritandis ordinibus and the lex Papia Poppaea (chapters 2 and 3), the lex Iulia de adulteriis coercendis (chapter 4) and the lex Aelia Sentia and the lex Fufia Caninia (chapter 5). The purpose of these chapters is to examine the individual statutes in detail and to see what policies and aims may be detected in them in order to assess their importance in the history of these areas of Roman Law and as reflections of the aims and achievements of Augustus in general.

    D. a Written Constitution for Rome 1. the Importance of Written Laws A

    www.HistoryAtOurHouse.Com Lower Elementary Class Notes D. A Written Constitution for Rome 1. The Importance of Written Laws a) Written laws are important because when the people know the laws, they can make sure to follow them (and thus avoid being criminals), but also because people who know the law can more easily change the laws, or even rebel against them if they are very unfair. 2. The Second Secession of the Plebeians (449 BC) a) The plebeians wanted written laws, but the patricians did not like the idea of having another limit placed on their power. b) In order to force the patricians to make the change, the plebeians seceded again. 3. The Laws of the Twelve Tables a) The final set of laws produced are known as the “Laws of the Twelve Tables” because they were engraved on twelve bronze tablets. b) The laws were placed on display in the center of the city. c) Sadly, the tables were destroyed by the Gauls in a war with Rome c.390 BC. E. Lex Canuleia (445 BC) 1. The constant desire of patricians to have power over the plebeians stemmed from the belief that patricians were superior (in every every important way) to plebeians. 2. Because they thought they were superior, patricians made it illegal for patricians to marry plebeians. 3. Gaius Canuleius, a tribune, pushed for this law to be changed. 4. The Lex Canuleia (“lex” means “law”), obviously named after him, made it legal for plebeians to marry patricians. F. The Patrician Reaction: Censorship 1. The patricians were worried that plebeians would ruin the character of their noble families.

Clicking on the heading of the item in the Mats. will, in most cases, bring you back to where you were in the outline.) 1. Marriage and family temp XII. I’m going to take the topics in Watson’s order. Manus. The fullest account that we have is in GI.1.108–16: (Mats. 1). a. Many Roman authors wax eloquent about manus and the archaic family, none more so than Dionysius of Halicarnassus who was not a Roman, but a Greek, who wrote in Greek a book called Roman Anquities 2.25 (Mats. 2). This passage will be needed to support a number of points later on. b. Acquisition of manus. Usu, farre(o), coemptione. Watson’s argument that this is a provision in the XII seems to me to be plausible. The argument for it is that the classical sources always mention it in in this order and there’s no logic to the order. That the most recent edition of the XII rejects the argument on the ground that there is no evidence that coemptio had this technical meaning at this time does not seem to me to be very powerful. c. Confarreatio, coemptio, usus – individually. Unless Watson is right that the three means of acquiring manus were in the XII Tables, the only provision about manus in the XII Tables is in tab.

  • A Study of the Twice-Told Tales in Ovid's Fasti and Metamorphoses

    A Study of the Twice-Told Tales in Ovid's Fasti and Metamorphoses

    1 Beyond Persephone: A Study of the Twice-Told Tales in Ovid’s Fasti and Metamorphoses Emily J. Goode UCL – PhD 2 I, Emily J. Goode confirm that the work presented in this thesis is my own. Where information has been derived from other sources, I confirm that this has been indicated in the thesis. ______________________ 3 Abstract There are several narratives told by Ovid in both the Fasti and Metamorphoses and, excluding the rape of Persephone, there has been little or no analysis of them. This thesis is the first focused comparison of all of the twice-told tales in the Metamorphoses and the Fasti . This thesis presents a close-reading of four of the most substantial twice-told tales, the rape of Callisto, the rape of Europa, the apotheosis of Romulus, and the death of Hippolytus. We find that the Metamorphoses and Fasti are woven together with strong invitations to compare between the two texts. Broadly this thesis finds that genre and, in particular, interest in divine action is an important distinguishing feature between the twice- told tales; divine action being present to a greater degree in the Metamorphoses narratives. This thesis then surveys the remaining twice-told tales with an emphasis on their position within the text. Here we find that the twice-told tales are positioned so as to increase the intertextual pull between the Metamorphoses and Fasti . Comparison of the twice-told tales also reveals insights into the individual texts, and in this respect the Fasti , as the lesser investigated of the two texts, particularly benefits.

Even though there were now two tribunes to protect the plebeians, the patricians still had control over most of the government. 2. One limitation of the power of the tribunes was that they could not leave the city of Rome. There were two reasons for this: a) They would not be able to interfere with consuls leading the army. b) They would always be accessible to the plebeians who needed them within the city. 3. This meant, however, that the patricians easily controlled whatever happened outside of Rome itself. 4. In particular, whenever new land was conquered from neighboring cities, it was the Senate that gave away the new land, and by far the greater portion was given to patricians. 5. Since the plebeians played an important role in the defense of Rome, they demanded fairer treatment. The issue of gaining more land was very important to them, since they had so little to being with. 6. In 486, a consul named Spurius Cassius proposed a fairer way of dividing up the captured agricultural land. 7. The Senate waited until he was no longer consul, then put him on trial for attempting to make himself king by donating land to the poor. He was sentenced to death. 8. The basic problem the Romans faced in creating a government that protected the rights of patricians and plebeians equally was that the patricians believed they were better than the plebeians and did not care to treat the plebeians fairly.

    (NRCE) Study Guide – Advanced Level

    National Roman Civilization Exam (NRCE) Study Guide – Advanced Level By Connor Harrison and José Molina This study guide is meant to be good approximation of the material needed to know for the NRCE exam. It is not meant to be fully comprehensive, but should cover most things that could be asked on the exam for Roman History and Roman Life. This guide is adapted from Connor Harrison’s Roman History Notes and José Molina’s Roman Life Notes. Please note that Ancient Geography, although asked on the NRCE, is not yet included in this version of the study guide. Ancient Geography includes, but is not limited to, directions to and from ancient locations, modern names of ancient cities (and vice versa), and names and destinations of ancient Roman roads. 1 Roman History By Connor Harrison MONARCHY (753-510 B.C.) 7 KINGS - Romulus o Lineage . Mother was Rhea Silvia, father was Mars (the God) Rhea Silvia was the daughter of Numitor, whose brother Amulius had stolen the throne of Alba Longa Romulus and his brother Remus were thrown into the Tiber River, recovered by a she-wolf, and raised by the shepard Faustulus The wife of Faustulus was Acca Larentia o Romulus and Remus . Romulus had a brother, Remus . There was a dispute over where the city would be settled, so Romulus settled the Palatine hill, Remus settled the Aventine hill . According to one account, Romulus is said to have seen 12 vultures while Remus was said to have seen 6, meaning Romulus had superior augury and had say over where the city should be .
