Given the size of the slave and freedman populations in the ancient world, and the extent to which these individuals were entangled in nearly every aspect of the Roman quotidian experience, there can be no hope of p…
Rescriptum
A rescript ( rescriptum ) most commonly refers to a written response from the Roman emperor to one of his subjects or officials, occasioned by an original written contact from that person.
Cyrene edicts
In 1927, an inscription that had recently been discovered by Italian excavators in the Agora of ancient Cyrene (belonging to the Roman province Crete and Cyrene) was published.
Edict, magistrate's
During the Roman Republican period, the edictum perpetuum of the urban praetor was crucial to the development of civil law (see edict, praetor's ). Though the praetor's edict was by far and away the most influential in this respect, several other officers of state, who functioned in the capital, also possessed the ius edicendi : dictators, censors, consuls, aediles, quaestors , tribunes of the plebs, and the pontifex maximus . The edicts of these…
Edict, praetor's
In 367 BCE the Romans created a new magistrate: the Praetor.
Responsa
Very early on in Roman history, it appears that the pontifices , the members of the chief board of priests of the state religion, held something like a monopoly over the law, in both the sacral and the secular realms (insofar as the two were altogether separate).
Decretum
The term decretum (from the verb decernere , “decide, determine, settle, ordain, declare a judgment, vote for”) was used to refer to various types of decision or resolution enacted by various organs of government in the Roman world.

Organized Societies
The Oxford Handbook of Social Relations in the Roman World synthesizes what has been accomplished in this field and attempts to configure the examination of Roman social relations in some new ways, thereby indicating directions in which the discipline might now proceed. The book opens with a substantial general introduction that portrays the current state of the field, indicates some avenues for further study, and provides the background necessar…

Exemplary government in the early Roman Empire
This chapter discusses the exemplary government in the early Roman Empire. It draws attention to the ways in which exempla contributed, and did so roughly on a level with acts that we would comfortably categorize as statutory (e.g., decrees of popular assemblies, senatus consulta , or formal edicts issued by emperors), to what we would perceive as the constitutional foundation of the imperial government. In particular, it concentrates on the empe…

The Praetorship in the Roman Republic
Aurelian and the Third Century
Five Vindolanda Tablets, Soldiers, and the Law
That the Vindolanda tablets have provided us with an extraordinarily stimulating body of evidence is a truism, if ever there was one. But in particular, these inscribed scraps of wood offer the rare and tantalizing opportunity to compare many aspects of daily life (largely military, but also civilian) in the far northwestern corner of the Roman Empire with conceivably similar goings-on elsewhere
Consultation with a Magistrate in Justinian's Code
In his monograph on the praetorian prefect, L. L. Howe found it necessary to include an appendix concerning the Codex Justinianus as a source for this official. The problem was that while manuscripts or early editors had labelled various recipients of third-century imperial constitutions as prefects, all save two of those appellations were expunged by Krueger in his edition of the CJ . Howe considered it ‘impossible to believe’ that only two of t…
A Funerary Inscription from Etruria
SOME YEARS AGO, Joyce Reynolds published a rather puzzling funerary inscription from Filissano in southern Etruria.1 The stone raises several significant problems regarding the persons mentioned, their statuses, and their respective administrative posts. As well, there are problems with the reading and sense of the text that deserve further attention. I shall begin with an interpretation of the text,2 and then turn to the questions of office and …
