  • Letters of the Law: Saturninus the Helmsman, Pliny and Friends’ Working Papers in Nervan, Trajanic and Hadrianic Literature 1.15 (2/12/13)
    Jill Harries: ‘Letters of the Law: Saturninus the helmsman, Pliny and Friends’ Working Papers in Nervan, Trajanic and Hadrianic Literature 1.15 (2/12/13) Letters of the law: Saturninus the helmsman, Pliny and Friends. Sailors should be wary of trusting other sailors. This was the moral to be drawn from an exchange of letters late in the first century CE between a lawyer and a (now) anonymous client. The text, corrupted by centuries of manuscript transmission now lost to the record, prior to its incorporation in Justinian’s Digest of Roman Law in 533 CE, derives from the eleventh book in a collection of Epistulae compiled by Pliny’s distinguished older contemporary, Iavolenus Priscus, consul under Domitian and famous as a iuris peritus, a ‘man skilled in law’ or jurist: Anonymous (we do not know the writer’s name) to his friend Priscus greetings (Anonymus Prisco suo salutem), [Seius] Saturninus the chief helmsman from the British fleet left in his will an inheritance in trust to his heir-executor Valerius Maximus, the ship’s captain, whom he requested to restore the inheritance to his son [Seius] Oceanus, when he had reached the age of sixteen. [Seius] Oceanus, before he reached the stated age, died; now, one Mallius Seneca, who says he is the uncle of [Seius] Oceanus, is claiming these goods on the grounds of close kinship, but Maximus the ship’s captain claims them for himself, because the person to whom he had been instructed to restore the property is now deceased. [I ask therefore] Do these goods belong to Valerius Maximus the captain

  • Staging Morality: Studies in the Lex Iulia De Adulteriis of 18 BCE
    Staging Morality: Studies in the Lex Iulia de Adulteriis of 18 BCE by Mary Alana Deminion B.A., University of Victoria, 2007 B.A., University of Ottawa, 2001 A Thesis Submitted in Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for the Degree of MASTER OF ARTS in the Department of Greek and Roman Studies Mary Alana Deminion University of Victoria All rights reserved. This thesis may not be reproduced in whole or in part, by photocopy or other means, without the permission of the author. ii Supervisory Committee Staging Morality: Studies in the Lex Iulia de Adulteriis of 18 BCE by Mary Alana Deminion B.A., University of Victoria, 2007 B.A., University of Ottawa, 2001 Dr. Gregory D. Rowe, Supervisor (Department of Greek and Roman Studies) Dr. Cedric A. J. Littlewood, Departmental Member (Department of Greek and Roman Studies) iii Abstract Supervisory Committee Dr. Gregory D. Rowe, Supervisor (Department of Greek and Roman Studies) Dr. Cedric A. J. Littlewood, Departmental Member (Department of Greek and Roman Studies) The lex Iulia de adulteriis of 18 BCE, which for the first time made adultery a criminal offence and created a standing court, was touted by the Augustan regime as a return to the moral customs of the Republican past. However, the new reform in fact represented a significant shift away from the traditional authority of the Roman paterfamilias to punish transgressions privately at his discretion and towards the legal power of the emperor and Senate to define and regulate morality on a public scale. Using a variety of primary source evidence, I explore the provisions of the adultery law and place the resulting criminal trials within the context of public staging of the Roman aristocracy.

    A STUDY OF SOCIAL LIFE IN THE SATIRES OF JUVENAL by BASHWAR NAGASSAR SURUJNATH B.A., The University of British Columbia, 1959. A THESIS SUBMITTED IN PARTIAL FULFILMENT OF THE REQUIREMENTS FOR THE DEGREE OF MASTER OF ARTS in the Department of CLASSICS We accept this thesis as conforming to the required standard THE UNIVERSITY OF BRITISH COLUMBIA April, 1964 In presenting this thesis in partial fulfilment of the requirements for an advanced degree at the University of British Columbia, I agree that the Library shall make it freely available for reference and study. I further agree that per• mission for extensive copying of this thesis for scholarly purposes may be granted by the Head of my Department or by his representatives. It is understood that copying or publi• cation of this thesis for financial gain shall not be allowed without my written permission*. Department of Glassies The University of British Columbia, Vancouver 8, Canada Date April 28, 196U ii ABSTRACT The purpose of this thesis is not to deal with the literary merit and poetic technique of the satirist. I am not asking whether Juvenal was a good poet or not; instead, I intend to undertake this study strictly from a social and historical point of view. From our author's barrage of bitter protests on the follies and foibles of his age I shall try to uncover as much of the truth as possible (a) from what Juvenal himself says, (b) from what his contemporaries say of the same society, and (c) from the verdict of modern authorities.
