The legal capacity of public slaves in the Roman empire
Slaves are things, and therefore objects rather than subjects of law. In other words, freeborn and freed people may have rights over slaves, but slaves are not supposed to have any rights over anything or anyone. However, such an absolute principle is simply not practical, and may never have been enforced.

Testamentum porcelli
The testamentum porcelli is a three‐hundred‐word mock testament written before 402 CE by an anonymous author. Consisting of two parts, it features a piglet about to be butchered asking for a short reprieve to write his will, in which he bequeaths his body parts to distinct groups of people. Exhibiting the usual traits of Late Antique Latin, with no fewer than seven neologisms, its humor depends on pregnant proper names and suggestive puns, mixing…

De l’usage de l’écriture dans la gestion d’entreprise à l’époque romaine

A cette fin, il choisit de faire représenter les travaux des ouvriers affectés à son entreprise dans une série de reliefs qu'on peut actuellement admirer s…
The Cambridge Companion to the Roman Republic
The Cambridge Companion to the Roman Republic examines all aspects of Roman history and civilization from 509–49 BC. The key development of the republican period was Rome's rise from a small city to a wealthy metropolis and international capital of an extensive Mediterranean empire.
