  • Ordering Divine Knowledge in Late Roman Legal Discourse
    Caroline Humfress ordering.3 More particularly, I will argue that the designation and arrangement of the title-rubrics within Book XVI of the Codex Theodosianus was intended to showcase a new, imperial and Theodosian, ordering of knowledge concerning matters human and divine. König and Whitmarsh’s 2007 edited volume, Ordering Knowledge in the Roman Empire is concerned primarily with the first three centuries of the Roman empire Ordering Divine Knowledge in and does not include any extended discussion of how knowledge was ordered and structured in Roman juristic or Imperial legal texts.4 Yet if we classify the Late Roman Legal Discourse Codex Theodosianus as a specialist form of Imperial prose literature, rather than Caroline Humfress classifying it initially as a ‘lawcode’, the text fits neatly within König and Whitmarsh’s description of their project: University of St Andrews Our principal interest is in texts that follow a broadly ‘compilatory’ aesthetic, accumulating information in often enormous bulk, in ways that may look unwieldy or purely functional In the celebrated words of the Severan jurist Ulpian – echoed three hundred years to modern eyes, but which in the ancient world clearly had a much higher prestige later in the opening passages of Justinian’s Institutes – knowledge of the law entails that modern criticism has allowed them. The prevalence of this mode of composition knowledge of matters both human and divine. This essay explores how relations in the Roman world is astonishing… It is sometimes hard to avoid the impression that between the human and divine were structured and ordered in the Imperial codex accumulation of knowledge is the driving force for all of Imperial prose literature.5 of Theodosius II (438 CE).

  • The Edictum Theoderici: a Study of a Roman Legal Document from Ostrogothic Italy
    The Edictum Theoderici: A Study of a Roman Legal Document from Ostrogothic Italy By Sean D.W. Lafferty A thesis submitted in conformity with the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy Department of History University of Toronto © Copyright by Sean D.W. Lafferty 2010 The Edictum Theoderici: A Study of a Roman Legal Document from Ostrogothic Italy Sean D.W. Lafferty Doctor of Philosophy Department of History University of Toronto 2010 Abstract This is a study of a Roman legal document of unknown date and debated origin conventionally known as the Edictum Theoderici (ET). Comprised of 154 edicta, or provisions, in addition to a prologue and epilogue, the ET is a significant but largely overlooked document for understanding the institutions of Roman law, legal administration and society in the West from the fourth to early sixth century. The purpose is to situate the text within its proper historical and legal context, to understand better the processes involved in the creation of new law in the post-Roman world, as well as to appreciate how the various social, political and cultural changes associated with the end of the classical world and the beginning of the Middle Ages manifested themselves in the domain of Roman law. It is argued here that the ET was produced by a group of unknown Roman jurisprudents working under the instructions of the Ostrogothic king Theoderic the Great (493-526), and was intended as a guide for settling disputes between the Roman and Ostrogothic inhabitants of Italy. A study of its contents in relation to earlier Roman law and legal custom preserved in imperial decrees and juristic commentaries offers a revealing glimpse into how, and to what extent, Roman law survived and evolved in Italy following the decline and eventual collapse of imperial authority in the region.

  • Imperial Letters in Latin: Pliny and Trajan, Egnatius Taurinus and Hadrian1
    Imperial Letters in Latin: Pliny and Trajan, Egnatius Taurinus and Hadrian1 Fergus Millar 1. Introduction No-one will deny the fundamental importance of the correspondence of Pliny, as legatus of Pontus and Bithynia, and Trajan for our understanding of the Empire as a system. The fact that at each stage the correspondence was initiated by Pliny; the distances travelled by messengers in either direction (as the crow flies, some 2000 km to Rome from the furthest point in Pontus, and 1,500 km from Bithynia);2 the consequent delays, of something like two months in either direction; the seemingly minor and localised character of many of the questions raised by Pliny, and the Emperor’s care and patience in answering them – all these can be seen as striking and revealing, and indeed surprising, as routine aspects of the government of an Empire of perhaps some 50 million people. On the other hand this absorbing exchange of letters can be puzzling, because it seems isolated, not easy to fit into any wider context, since examples of Imperial letters in Latin are relatively rare. By contrast, the prestige of the Greek City in the Roman Empire and the flourishing of the epigraphic habit in at least some parts of the Greek world (primarily, however, the Greek peninsula and the western and southern areas of Asia Minor) have produced a large and ever-growing crop of letters addressed by Emperors to Greek cities and koina, and written in Greek. The collection of Greek constitutions published by J.H. Oliver in 1989 could now be greatly increased.

Drei Gründe sprechen dafür: 1. Die erste Auflage von 1998 ist schon nach sechs Jahren vergriffen gewesen. Die seit 2004 andauernde stetige Nachfrage sowie die zahlreichen Rezensionen bestätigen die positive Aufnahme des Buches. Die Neuauflage erlaubt es, kleinere störende Fehler im Text und in den Legenden zu den Abbildungen und Karten zu verbessern, einige Karten neu zu gestalten und im Nachwort dem Forschungsfortschritt der letzten zehn Jahre Rechnung zu tragen. 2. Die Forschungen zum frühen Mittelalter - nicht nur die allgemein- historischen, sondern auch die regionalgeschichtlich orientierten - sind in den letzten Jahren zunehmend in den grösseren interdisziplinären Verbund der Forschungen zum Übergang von der Antike zum Mittelalter integriert. Als globales Phänomen des Kulturwandels stehen die Verwandlung der Mittelmeerwelt und die Herausbildung der drei mittelalterlichen Kulturkreise, des arabisch-islamischen, des griechisch-byzantinischen und des lateinisch okzidentalen, im Mittelpunkt des althistorischen, des mediävistischen und des universalhistorischen Interesses.

  • Fragmenta Londiniensia Anteiustiniana: Preliminary Observations
    Fragmenta Londiniensia Anteiustiniana: Preliminary Observations Simon Corcoran and Benet Salway* Abstract — This article gives a preliminary account of seventeen small parchment fragments, which have been the subject of detailed study by members of the team of the Projet Volterra since the end of 2009. The fragments have been identified as coming from a legal text in Latin, indeed possibly all from the same page, written in a fifth-century uncial book-hand, but with some numeration and glosses in Greek. The fragments contain part of a rubricated title, as well as the headings and subscripts to several imperial rescripts of third-century emperors (Caracalla, Gordian III and the Philips are explicitly named), organized in a broadly chronological sequence without intervening commentary. Three rescripts overlap with texts known from the Justinian Code (C.7.62.3, 4, and 7). It is argued here that the work in the frag- ments is from neither the first nor second editions of the Justinian Code, nor from a juristic miscellany (similar to the Fragmenta Vaticana, Lex Dei, or Consultatio). Despite the apparently anomalous presence of a tetrarchic rescript (otherwise typically * Simon Corcoran is Senior Research Fellow, Projet Volterra, Department of History, University College London. Benet Salway is Senior Lecturer, Department of History, University College London, and a director of the Projet Volterra. The authors have jointly or severally given presentations about the fragments on various occasions between March 2010 and September 2012, including a workshop at Manchester (May 2010), a formal presentation at the third Volterra II Colloquium (London, July 2010), a plenary lecture at “Shifting Frontiers IX” (Penn State, June 2011) and in sessions at the 65th and 66th SIHDA meetings in Liège (September 2011) and Oxford (September 2012).

  • Anglo-Saxon Constitutional History
    ROMAN LAW IMPERIAL CONSTITUTIONS AS A SOURCE OF LAW CODIFICATION WHAT DOES IT ALL ADD UP TO? I. SOURCES OF LAW (IMPERIAL CONSTITUTIONS) 1. Gaius tells us that “An imperial constitution is what the emperor by decree, edict, or letter ordains.” ‘Constitution’ (constitutio) is the generic term; the word means simply something established or decided. ‘Decree’ (decretum, plural decreta), ‘edict’ (edictum, plural edicta), and ‘letter’ (episutla, plural epistulae) are more specific. The terminology reflects, to some extent, the development of the bureaucracy of the imperial chancery, but also the different contexts in which the emperor might write. a. Edicta. The emperor was a Republican magistrate with imperium. As such, he had the power to issue edicts. Hadrian issued some. The Constitutio Antoniniana of Caracalla is one. Perhaps the most famous is one that probably never was issued: Luke 2:1. b. Decreta are technically judicial decisions of the emperor either at first instance or on appeal. As we have noted previously, appeal was something new. It became possible with the extraordinaria cognitio when the judge himself became a public official. c. Epistulae are letters to a magistrate, very occasionally to a private citizen. If the letter answered a question it was called a rescriptum (‘rescript’, literally a ‘writing back’). d. Subscriptiones were written under a letter coming from a private citizen or on a libellus, a petition from a private citizen. They remained in the imperial archives but the author received a copy. These were also called ‘rescripts’. e. Mandata are instructions from the emperor on imperial administrative matters. 2.
