Excerpt from Num Legitime Prudenterque se Gesserit M. Tullius Cicero Consul in Puniendis Conjurationis Catilinariae Consciis: Disserebat
Iterum vero, die dieta, consilium diremptum est, sive, defi ciente Crasso, signum dare Caesar non ansus est, ut ait Sueto nius, sive, Sallustio si credere malis, Catilina maturavit pro curia signum sociis dare, cum nondum frequentes armati'con venissent. Illa dicitur prior conjuratio Catilinaria.

Paperback. Condition: New. Print on Demand. This book explores the legal basis for the controversial execution of Catiline's associates by Roman consul Cicero in 63 BCE, which defied Roman law dictating that only assemblies of the people could order executions. The author argues that the Senate's decree granting Cicero exceptional powers, the "senatus consultum ultimum", was legal based on historical precedent and Roman legal norms. The author examines the historical development of Roman law, particularly regarding the right to appeal, and argues that the Senate had the authority to grant extraordinary powers to officials in times of crisis. The work also explores the broader themes of the tension between individual rights and state security in ancient Rome, the role of law in politics, and the nature of executive power in a republic. The author concludes that Cicero's actions were legally justified and that the "senatus consultum ultimum" was an essential tool for preserving the Roman Republic in times of crisis.
