Servius, Cicero and the Res Publica of Justinian
Edward J. Watts. The Final Pagan Generation
Although the “last pagan generation” contained non-pagans, everyone was conditioned by the world full of gods into which they were born in the early years of Constantine’s reign (312–337 a.d.). In this stimulating and scholarly analysis of a century of fundamental religious change, Edward J. Watts abandons history based on the politics, institutions, or economy of late antiquity to focus on the lived experience of four prominent figures born in t…

Triple Vision: Ulpian of Tyre on the Duties of the Proconsul
Ulpian is silent on Tyre's past as a founder of colonies or its continuing overseas connections with its daughter-cities, such as Lepcis Magna in Tripolitania, the home city of Ulpian's first imperial patron, Septimius Severus. Ulpian was not alone in reshaping the past in order to reinforce a present identity but his distancing of himself from his Greek heritage makes him unusual. This chapter focuses on Ulpian's account of what was expected of …

Law and Empire: Ideas, Practices, Actors
"Law and Empire provides a comparative view of legal practices in Asia and Europe, from Antiquity to the eighteenth century. It relates the main principles of legal thinking in Chinese, Islamic, and European contexts to practices of lawmaking and adjudication. In particular, it shows how legal procedure and legal thinking could be used in strikingly different ways. Rulers could use law effectively as an instrument of domination; legal specialists…
Violence, masculinity and the law in classical Athens
Encyclopaedism from Antiquity to the Renaissance
There is a rich body of encyclopaedic writing which survives from the two millennia before the Enlightenment. This book sheds new light on that material. It traces the development of traditions of knowledge ordering which stretched back to Pliny and Varro and others in the classical world. It works with a broad concept of encyclopaedism, resisting the idea that there was any clear pre-modern genre of the 'encyclopaedia', and showing instead how t…

Superfluous Verbiage: Rhetoric and Law in the Age of Constantine and Julian
This paper contrasts the assumption of the lawyers who compiled the Theodosian Code, that imperial "laws" can be read solely in terms of ius , or "legal content," irrespective of the language in which they are framed, with the line taken by Eusebius among others that rhetoric was as much a part of the "law" as the legal command or prohibition contained in it. It argues that the integration of rhetoric with ius , explored in Plato's Laws 4, a text…
Constantine the lawgiver
Nearly sixty years before Constantine was proclaimed at York on 25 July 306, Philip the Arab celebrated the conclusion of Rome's first millennium. Constantine, therefore, was the product of Rome's eleventh century, the first fifty years of which had been dominated by military emperors. Constantine himself claimed descent from one, Claudius II Gothicus. The soldier-emperors' priority had been the security of the empire, and their focus had been th…
Law and Empire in Late Antiquity
Law and Crime in the Roman World
What was crime in ancient Rome? Was it defined by law or social attitudes? How did damage to the individual differ from offences against the community as a whole? This 2007 book explores competing legal and extra-legal discourses in a number of areas, including theft, official malpractice, treason, sexual misconduct, crimes of violence, homicide, magic and perceptions of deviance. It argues that court practice was responsive to social change, des…
Commentaries on speeches of Cicero
Favor Populi
In AD375, soon after an earthquake had devastated part of Campania, the rich pagan senator, Q. Aurelius Symmachus, visited Beneventum. There he found the local optimates ‘working night and day’ to restore their city (Symm. Epist. 1.3). The noble visitor was greeted by public plaudits, ‘civium cultus’ and ‘honor’, all of which he reported with pride, because they enhanced his status. However, such public honours were not altruistic. Symmachus was …

Law and Empire in Late Antiquity
Church and State in the Notitia Galliarum
Lists of provinces and cities of the Roman Empire were compiled and used for administrative or juridical purposes from as early as the time of Augustus, whose survey of Italy and the provinces formed the basis of the Elder Pliny's description of the Empire. The late Roman period is especially rich in such survivals, the proliferation of which can be ascribed to two tendencies prevalent in the fourth century. The first was the increasing bureaucra…

The Roman Imperial Quaestor from Constantine to Theodosius II
The greatest legal monuments to Late Antiquity are the Code of Theodosius II, published in 438, and the Code, Digest and Institutes of Justinian, produced between 529 and 534. The men on whose shoulders the main responsibility for their compilation rested were two imperial quaestors, each backed by teams of experts. Antiochus Chuzon, quaestor in 429, saw the Theodosian Code from its inception in the year of his quaestorship through a second stage…
