Iuventius Celsus, Publius ( filius )
Publius Iuventius Celsus Titus Aufidius Hoenius Severianus, or Celsus, was a prominent jurist during the reign of Hadrian who played an important role in imperial government.

Fresh Water in Roman Law: Rights and Policy
Fresh water came from a variety of sources, streams and springs as well as aqueducts. Much of the Roman law on fresh water concerns its supply, regulating rights to use it with a variety of legal institutions from public and private law (e.g. ownership, servitudes, interdicts). The study of fresh water has usually followed the legal categories, segregating the public water supply from water that was private property, and consequently segregating …
C. Sergius Orata and the Rhetoric of Fishponds
C. Sergius Orata was famous for the oysters that he raised on the Lucrine lake, where he also bought and renovated villas, reselling them at a profit. His oysters changed the market for gourmet seafood by creating a new standard in taste around 100 b.c., and he grew rich enough from this trade to enjoy the luxuries that he purveyed. He was a path-breaking entrepreneur in luxury goods, ‘the first Campanian speculator to cater to the leisure of the…
Gardens and Neighbors: Private Water Rights in Roman Italy
"Gardens and Neighbors will provide an important building block in the growing body of literature on the ways that Roman law, Roman society, and the economic concerns of the Romans jointly functioned in the real world." ---Michael Peachin, New York University As is increasingly true today, fresh water in ancient Italy was a limited resource, made all the more precious by the Roman world's reliance on agriculture as its primary source of wealth. F…
Self-Help and Social Status in Cicero's Pro Quinctio
The Pro Quinctio, Cicero's earliest surviving speechl, has received little scholarly attention2, perhaps because its rhetoric is less sparkling than his later works, or because legal technicalities dominate its argument. Quinctius' was a tough case; his fIrst advocate dropped it shortly before the trial and Cicero took over. It seems unlikely that he won the case, because if he had, he probably wouldn't have passed up the opportunity of boasting …
The Brothers of Romulus: Fraternal Pietas in Roman Law, Literature, and Society
The Brothers of Romulus: Fraternal Pietas in Roman Law, Literature, and Society
Stories about brothers were central to Romans' public and poetic myth making, to their experience of family life, and to their ideas about intimacy among men. Through the analysis of literary and legal representations of brothers, Cynthia Bannon attempts to re-create the context and contradictions that shaped Roman ideas about brothers. She draws together expressions of brotherly love and rivalry around an idealized notion of fraternity: fraterna…
