Article Carlo De Cristofaro, Inpudicus. Il diritto romano di fronte al prisma della sessualità maschile dalle origini al principato was published on June 1, 2024 in the journal Zeitschrift der Savigny-Stiftung für Rechtsgeschichte: Romanistische Abteilung (volume 141, issue 1)
Herod the Great and the Iudicium Domesticum: Legal Pluralism to Die For
The central question under consideration in this article is whether the various trials to which Herod, the well-known king of Judaea, subjected family members qualify as instances of the Roman iudicium domesticum. Modern debate among legal historians has been shaped by the views of two scholars in particular, Wolfgang Kunkel, who argues that one of them so qualifies, and Alfredo Mordechai Rabello, who contends that the rest do not, asserting that…

Sex and the city
Stuprum
From an early period, stuprum meant “disgrace” in a general sense. Naevius in his Bellum Punicum employs it to signify cowardice, desertion, and/or defeat in a military context (46, 47 Strzelecki).
Nuncupatio
From an early period, nuncupate meant making a solemn declaration in the presence of witnesses in certain religious or legal contexts.
Divorce, Roman
Getting divorced was, from a legal perspective, easy for a Roman citizen, even by twenty‐first century US standards. It was even easier than getting married in the first place, since divorce could be unilateral.
Repudium
Just as Roman marriage itself was mainly a matter of agreement between the husband and wife (and those in whose potestas they stood, if applicable), so Roman divorce demanded little by way of formality in principle.
Manus
The older form of Roman marriage entailed the subjection of the woman to the authority and control ( manus ) of her husband.
Ius liberorum
The “privilege of children” was a set of benefits originally established by the Augustan marriage legislation.
Dowry, Roman
Dowry ( dos ) was not required for a lawful Roman marriage, but it was such a strong social expectation that the two were closely linked.
Prostitution
Prostitution in ancient Rome was widespread. The sale of sex constituted an important aspect of the economy in terms of upper‐class investment, state revenue, and female employment. Highly exploitative in nature, it also enjoyed great symbolic importance. The vast bulk of the legal, literary, documentary, and archaeological evidence derives approximately from the period 200 BCE –250 CE , and most of this concerns the prostitution of women, our fo…
Conubium
Conubium (“the legal capacity to marry”) carries the double sense of a right and a requirement.
Lex Voconia
The lex Voconia was a plebiscite, brought before the concilium plebis in 169 BCE by the tribune Q.
Tutela
Roman law, like other legal systems, recognized that some individuals, although they are of independent legal status ( Sui iuris ), continue to require supervision, especially (in the Roman view) with regard to their property.
Coemptio
Coemptio was one of the three ways in which a wife was subjected to the control (manus)of her husband under the older form of Roman marriage, the other two being confarreatio and usus .
