THE CORN SUPPLY OF THE ROMAN ARMIES DURING THE THIRD AND SECOND CENTURIES B.C.1 Introduction A major role in the corn supply of the Roman armies, from at least the third century B.C. on, is ascribed to large scale contractors, who took care of all aspects of organization, administration and execution. In Badian’s influential study of these private entrepreneurs, it is supposed that the feeding of the Roman armies exceeded the capabilities of the Roman governmental apparatus; as a result, the state in Republican times had to rely on private enterprise.2 The role given to private entrepreneurs assumes that private trade was capable of supplying and distributing huge amounts of corn without much difficulty. On the other hand, the capabilities of the Roman governmental structure seem very limited. The question whether indeed it was private business and not the Roman state itself that managed the corn supply of the Roman armies is important for our understanding of the Roman wars, the state and private trade in this period. It is the purpose of this paper to show that the evidence furnished for the role of large scale contractors in the corn supply of the armies is inadequate. The sources provide ample evidence of other means the Roman government had to acquire corn for its armies.

    COOPERATION AND CONFLICT BETWEEN GOVERNOR AND POLEIS IN THE VERRINES Laura Pfuntner i. reading the VERRINES from a sicilian perspective In august 70 b.c., in his first appearance as a prosecutor, Cicero presented his case against Gaius Verres, governor of Sicily from 73 to 71, in the quaestio de repetundis in Rome.1 Cicero did not have the chance to complete his prosecution, however, since Verres abandoned his defense after the first hearing of the case and went into exile in Massilia. Cicero’s success against Verres undoubtedly enhanced his reputation as an orator, and he capitalized upon it by publishing the speech (the Divinatio in Caecilium) that had won him the right to prosecute, his speech from the first hearing, and five speeches he represented as the ones he had given in the second hearing, though it had not taken place. The speeches purporting to be from the second hearing of Verres’ trial are the longest works in the surviving Ciceronian corpus,2 and they are valuable sources for many aspects of late republican history and culture. As he describes Verres’ alleged crimes as governor in the second, third, fourth, and fifth speeches of this second actio, Cicero also provides a detailed account of many aspects of life in Roman Sicily.3 Mostly, and most naturally, scholars have read the speeches from a Roman perspective: as examples of Cicero’s development as an orator, and for the insight they provide into the political climate of the late 70s b.c.4 When scholars consider the Sicilians who populate the second set of Verrine orations, it is also usually from the perspective of Rome, with an emphasis on their patronage relationships with Roman senators and magistrates.5 The All parenthetical citations in the text and footnotes refer to the second actio of Cicero’s In Verrem, unless otherwise noted.

    Zurich Open Repository and Archive University of Zurich Main Library Strickhofstrasse 39 CH-8057 Zurich www.zora.uzh.ch Year: 2013 Customary law and legal pluralism in the Roman Empire: The status of peregrine law in Egypt: Customary law and legal pluralism in the Roman Empire Alonso, José Luis Abstract: As we know since Ludwig Mitteis, Egypt’s incorporation to the Roman Empire brought little change to the legal practice of the local population. Since the province lacked autonomous courts, this would not have been possible without the consistent endorsement of this ’peregrine’ law by the Roman jurisdiction - an endorsement fully confirmed by the abundant available evidence. The political rationale behind this Roman attitude is clear enough, and entirely consistent with the general imperial policy of minimum intervention. And yet, within the Greco-Roman political tradition, that required a civitas for the existence of a ius civile, the legal status of this peregrine law - in a province that lacked civitates proper until 200 ce, and whose inhabitants were mostly peregrini nullius civitatis - is a theoretical puzzle. Hans Julius Wolff has maintained that it was, strictly speaking, no law at all: the fall of thePtolemies deprived it of all its binding force, as the occasional instances of Roman rejection (notably in P. Oxy. n 237, the famous petition of Dionysia) would corroborate; from the point of view of the Roman jurisdiction, there was in Egypt, Wolff argued, a legal vacuum to be filled at discretion. Joseph Mélèze Modrzejewski, instead, has insisted on the pertinence here of the notion of customary law: the local legal traditions, as well as the Ptolemaic legislation, were reduced to customary law, persisted as a merely tolerated mos regionis.

  • Taxation and the Formation of the Late Roman Social Contract by Patrick E
    Taxation and the Formation of the Late Roman Social Contract By Patrick E. Clark A dissertation submitted in partial satisfaction of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy in History in the Graduate Division of the University of California Berkeley Committee in charge: Professor Carlos Noreña, Chair Professor Susanna Elm Professor Todd Hickey Spring 2017 Abstract Taxation and the Formation of the Late Roman Social Contract By Patrick E. Clark Doctor of Philosophy in History University of California, Berkeley Professor Carlos Noreña, Chair “Taxation and the Formation of the Late Roman Social Contract” offers a novel interpretation of the function of taxation in late Roman society. I argue that the tax policies introduced by Diocletian at the end of the 3rd century facilitated the negotiation of a social contract between the rulers and the ruled that stipulated that all Roman citizens had rights under and responsibilities to the Roman Empire. The late Roman social contract contrasted with the social contract of the Principate, which sought to reduce the responsibilities on the emperor’s political coalition while also enabling this group to enjoy more rights under the empire. Taxation was, on the one hand, one of the citizens’ responsibilities, whose specific provisions, rates, and institutions were subject to intense negotiation between the ruler and the ruled. On the other hand, taxation functioned as a forum where state actors and taxpayers interacted, engaged in performances of the “public transcript”, and negotiated with each other, and as a medium for communication that enabled the emperor to give real world realization to his values, ideals, and normative conceptions of citizenship.
