Rome: An Empire of Many Nations
The center of gravity in Roman studies has shifted far from the upper echelons of government and administration in Rome or the Emperor's court to the provinces and the individual. The multi-disciplinary studies presented in this volume reflect the turn in Roman history to the identities of ethnic groups and even single individuals who lived in Rome's vast multinational empire. The purpose is less to discover another element in the Roman Empire's …
The Involvement of Provincial Cities in the Administration of School Teaching
This chapter examines the involvement of the Roman empire in administrating education in provincial cities during the High Empire, through regulation of exemption from tutelages. It uses the case of Aelius Aristides, who appealed against his own exemption being revoked. The chapter traces the various interests and forces which shaped provincial education both in the civic arena as well as in the imperial one.
Visigothic Medici
This article has two interwoven objectives. The first is to show what these items of law reveal about the Visigothic healthcare system and its origins. The second is to portray the attitude of the Visigothic Code toward healthcare as an exemplum of a more general trend of acceptance of the Roman law of obligations
Louise Cilliers, Roman North Africa
The purpose of this monograph is ‘to envision these four authors [Helvidius Vindicianus, Theodorus Priscianus, Caelius Aurelianus and Cassius Felix] in their own environment and frame of time’ (p. 11). The result does just that. Louise Cilliers succeeded in offering a friendly introduction to the environment and society in which these late antique authors produced their work. In a simple, friendly, yet authoritative, the author skilfully reads th…
Professional Liability and Forensic Science in the Context of the Lex Aquilia
This article examines the emergence of professional liability and forensic science in the context of the Lex Aquilia. The interpretations of jurists, found in the sections of the Digest discussing the Lex Aquilia, subjected professionals to a higher standard of responsibility and liability, both in the context of locatio-conductio contracts and outside of it. At the same time, the Roman legal system increased its reliance on professionals for det…
The Use of Diet and Regimen by Midwives During Pregnancy, Childbirth, and Postnatal Care in Soranus' Gynecology
This article explores in detail the use of regimen by midwives as described in Soranus' Gynecology and considers the question of whether midwives were seen as medical professionals by their clients
The Use and Abuse of Hippocratic Medicine in the Apology of Lucius Apuleius
The Apology of Apuleius is a rare example of a complete forensic speech in Latin from the High Roman Empire. The prosecution on the charge of magia of a renowned rhetor in the court of a Roman proconsul, who might himself have been a distinguished Stoic philosopher, offers modern scholars a remarkable opportunity to observe an encounter between scholarship and legal practice. Apuleius arrived in the city of Oea en route to Alexandria as part of a…

Society, Medicine and Religion in the Sacred Tales of Aelius Aristides
Aelius Aristides' Sacred Tales offer a unique opportunity to examine how an educated man of the Second Century CE came to terms with illness.
