Ideas and the Man
Mapping the Law
This collection of essays celebrates the life and work of Peter Birks, who was Regius Professor of Civil Law at the University of Oxford, and Fellow of All Souls College. Widely known as one of the most prolific legal scholars for over twenty years, his contribution to English obligations law is legendary. He was Founder of the Clarendon Law Lectures, editor of the Clarendon Law Series, editor of the Oxford English Law Series, and author of sever…
What did Damnum Iniuria Actually Mean?
Postponed Business at Irni
The Lex Irnitana is arguably the most important addition to the material for the study of Roman Law since the discovery of the text of Gaius' Institutes by Niebuhr in 1816. In terms of information about the working of the Roman legal system its importance far outstrips, for example, that of the new fragments of Gaius found in the 1920s and 1930s. In particular it gives us much fresh information on a topic about which we are really very badly info…
The Curious Case of the Missing Mass
Introducing Iniuria
1 INTRODUCING INIURIA by ALAN RODGER (Edinburgh) I. - The Puzzle In 1969 Professor Raber drew scholars' attention to a puzzle, for which he had no particular solution to proposed Perhaps because no-one else had either, the puzzle has been ignored. It is none the less a genuine problem and Romanists can be more dangerously employed than in trying to solve it. The puzzle relates to the order of the texts at the start of the Digest title 47,10, de i…
The Lex Irnitana and Procedure in the Civil Courts
The procedural rules of civil courts stimulate interest among few except the lawyers who practise in them. The procedures of the courts of the Roman world may therefore not seem an enticing topic. But procedure lies at the heart of any legal system and the Roman legal system is no exception. So when the discovery of the Lex Irnitana brought us fresh material about the jurisdiction and procedure of the local magistrates and courts at Irni, it adde…
The Rise and Fall of Roman Lakes
19 THE RISE AND FALL OF ROMAN LAKES by ALAN RODGER (Edinburgh) Those readers of the Digest who persevere almost to the end of title 39,3 de aqua et aquae pluviae arcendae are rewarded for their diligence with the follow- ing text from an epitome by Paul of the digesta of Alfenus, a jurist of the first century B.C.': D. 39,3,24,3 Alfenus 4 digestorum a Paulo epitomatorum Lacus cum aut crescerent aut decrescerent, numquam neque accessionem neque de…
Further Aspects of the Tabula Contrebiensis
In this article we explore, in more detail than was possible for Richardson in his paper published last year, some of the issues raised by the tabula Contrebiensis . Since this discussion is intended to complement Richardson's article, we have not dealt with matters discussed by him upon which we feel that we have nothing fresh to add. We have modified some of the points made by Richardson, and the reader will soon notice that we raise more quest…

A Note on A. Cascellius
We know very little about the life of the jurist, A. Cascellius, but in his famous potted history of Roman legal science, parts of which are preserved in the Digest , Pomponius does tell us that Cascellius never rose beyond the rank of quaestor and that he rejected the consulship when Augustus offered it to him (D. 1. 2. 2. 45, Pomponius libro singulari enchiridii ). Such are the ways of scholars, however, that several modern writers are intent o…
