XXIX, 5, 2020 DOI: 10.17951/sil.2020.29.5.11-27 Krzysztof Amielańczyk maria curie-skłodowska university in lublin, Poland orciD: 0000-0001-6076-5417 [email protected] Slave as a Subject of Legal Protection in the Roman Public Criminal Law: A Contribution to the Discussion on the Situation of Slaves in the Roman State Niewolnik jako podmiot ochrony prawnej w rzymskim prawie karnym publicznym – przyczynek do dyskusji nad położeniem niewolników w państwie rzymskim summAry the article is aimed at answering the question about the scope of the subjectivity of slaves in roman public criminal law. especially in cases of crimes committed against slaves, there was a situation in which the slave, as a victim, was granted the attribute of legal subjectivity and was subject to legal protection as a human being (persona) by the roman state. this protection, present in many aspects of the punitive policy of the roman state, was particularly visible in the regulations that prohibited the killing of slaves, abuse of slaves, assignment to castration, gladiatorial fights or prostitution. the legal protection of slaves, and thus their empowerment in public criminal law, was based on the roman utilitas publica, but also the emerging humanitarian tendencies in imperial law. Keywords: scope of the subjectivity of slaves; roman public criminal law; utilitas publica; hu- manitarian tendencies I. roman slavery, in its many facets, has always been of great interest to the scholars who deal with antiquity. roman law specialists, of course, have addressed various legal issues arising from the covering of slaves by institutions of private law.

    IN REIULIUS AGRIPPA'S ESTATE Q. Cervidius Scaevola, Iulia Domna and the estate ofIulius Agrippa By W.J.ZWALVE Introduction In the third book ofbis Responsa, Quintus Cervidius Scaevola1 deals with an important subject of the law of property. Someone had made bis last will and testament bequeathing bis estate to bis heir at law, subject to the condition that the heir was not allowed to alienate a part of it, i.e. some real estate in the neighbourhood of Rome. The testator's granddaughter, in whose hands the estate ofher grandfather had devolved, made a last will bequeatbing her entire estate, inciuding her grandfather's real estate near Rome, to an extraneus, an heir outside the family of the testator. The question now was, whether this bequest was contrary to the condition as laid down in her grandfather' s testament.2 I would not have raised these intricacies of what has been called 'the Roman law of trusts', were it not for the fact that Scaevola' s responsum is reported twice in Justinian's Digests. The case is also, almost verbatim, reported in a fragment taken from Scaevola's Digesta.3 This time, however, the lawyer reports the names of the persons involved, instead of using aliases, as in the report of the case in bis Responsa. Due to this fortunate coincidence, we know that the original testator's name was not a ficticious Lucius Titius, but the primipilaris Iulius Agrippa and that the question put to Scaevola originated in a dispute between Agrippa's granddaughter's testamentary heir on the one hand and Iulia Domna on the other.

  • Law and Imperial Messaging in Severan Rome
    Playing the Judge: Law and Imperial Messaging in Severan Rome Zachary Herz Submitted in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy under the Executive Committee of the Graduate School of Arts and Sciences COLUMBIA UNIVERSITY 2018 © 2018 Zachary Herz All rights reserved ABSTRACT Playing the Judge: Law and Imperial Messaging in Severan Rome Zachary Herz This dissertation analyzes the interplay between imperial messaging or self-representation and legal activity in the Roman Empire under the Severan dynasty. I discuss the unusual historical circumstances of Septimius Severus’ rise to power and the legitimacy crises faced by him and his successors, as well as those same emperors’ control of an increasingly complex legal bureaucracy and legislative apparatus. I describe how each of the four Severan rulers—Septimius Severus, Caracalla, Elagabalus, and Severus Alexander—employed different approaches to imperial legislation and adjudication in accordance with their idiosyncratic self-presentation and messaging styles, as well as how other actors within Roman legal culture responded to Severan political dynamics in their own work. In particular, this dissertation is concerned with a particularly—and increasingly—urgent problem in Roman elite political culture; the tension between theories of imperial power that centered upon rulers’ charismatic gifts or personal fitness to rule, and a more institutional, bureaucratized vision that placed the emperor at the center of broader networks of administrative control. While these two ideas of the Principate had always coexisted, the Severan period posed new challenges as innovations in imperial succession (such as more open military selection of emperors) called earlier legitimation strategies into question.

  • Opus, Ulpianus. Pioneer of Human Rights*
    HSS V.2 (2016) DOI: 10.1515/hssr -2016-0012 The Schengen Space and the Primary Form of the European Legal Humanism. Revisiting Tony Honoré’s Opus, Ulpianus. Pioneer of Human Rights* Valeriu Ciucă** “Alexandru Ioan Cuza” University of Iasi, Romania Abstract The author proposes here “the first Romanian attempt at a hermeneutic systematization of the philosophy of European law”, a field that is approached from an organic, integrating perspective. It has to be seen as a synchronic lectio magistralis on the ineluctable role of the spiritual roots when deciphering and assuming national identity. The complicated “euronomosophical” discourse, whose beginning is an excellent page of self-history about the “Europe” of the author, voices an appeal to a deeper self-knowledge. A complex, dynamic reality: from euromyth to euro-oniria and PaxEuropaea. Such incursions into the universe of law certainly involve an instructive and pedagogical side, building a patchwork of ideas, suggestions and themes that could be further developed. Keywords European law, “Euronomosophical” discourse, Legal humanism, Honoré * This ad hoc session was also the subject of a lecture I was honored to deliver at “Petru Maior” University from Târgu Mureș in March 2016 in the framework of a collaboration with the Romanian Law Association and European Affairs and the Robertianum Center of European Private Law of “Alexandru Ioan Cuza” University from Iași. ** Faculty of Law, ”Alexandru Ioan Cuza” University of Iasi, 11, bd.

It formed part of the ancestral custom and required a reciprocal dutiful and appropriate conduct between relatives, primarily between children and their parents. The particular significance of the concept of pietas was that it served as a vehicle to transpose moral considerations into legal discourse, thereby making them both more apparent and consequential. This paper examines the influence that pietas had on the development of Roman law and its possible traces in the original modern-day versions of the French, Austrian and German Civil Codes as well as the US case law. *I would like to express my gratitude to Joseph H. H. Weiler, Jeremy Waldron and to the Straus Institute for the Advanced Study of Law and Justice for their generous hospitality.

Nevertheless, Romanist legal doctrine seems to be the last bastion of Roman supremacy (or at least autonomy), with scholars still arguing that Roman law was an original product of the Roman spirit, free from any for- eign influence.1 Such an opinion has already been criticized from the point of view of comparative law,2 yet a further observation, this time relative to the language, should also be made.

  • Emperor Commodus' 'Bellum Desertorum'
    RES HISTORICA 49, 2020 DOI:10.17951/rh.2020.49.61-95 Ireneusz Łuć (Maria Curie-Skłodowska University in Lublin, Poland) https://orcid.org/0000-0002-6388-2616 E-mail: [email protected] Emperor Commodus’ ‘Bellum desertorum’ ‘Bellum desertorum’ cesarza Kommodusa ABStract The article describes circumstances in which ‘the war with the deserters’ took place in the mid-180s AD in the Roman state. Criminal activity of Maternus, a deserter from the Ro- man army, who managed to surround himself with a large group of people excluded from the boundaries of legality, was transformed into an open rebellion against Commodus. Reconstruction of the circumstances outlined in the article that accompanied the formal requalifying the deserters and common outlaws as the ‘enemies of Rome’ would not be possible without including literary and epigraphic sources, as well as those referring to the Roman law. Only after having taken into account all the available evidence related to this topic can one provide a critical and multifaceted analysis of the history. Rejecting this ap- proach would not allow to verify the current state of knowledge in this area, and therefore, to offer a slightly different interpretation. Key words: Commodus, Maternus, deserters, rebellion, war, Roman army soldiers PUBLICATION INFO e-ISSN: 2449-8467 ISSN: 2082-6060 tHE AUtHOr’S ADDrESS: Ireneusz Łuć, the Institute of History of the Maria Curie-Skłodowska University in Lublin, 4A Maria Curie-Skłodowska Square, Lublin 20-031, Poland SOUrCE OF FUNDING: research project funded by the resources of the National Science Centre (Poland) granted on the basis of decision no.
