Excerpt from Das Justitium: Eine Studie aus der Römischen Rechtsgeschichte
Es kann nicht wohl ein Zweifel sein, dass wir es mit etwas ganz anderem zu thun haben, als man ge wöhnlich glaubt und dass wir alle heutigen Vorstellungen bei Seite lassen müssen, wenn wir dem Worte einen ver ständigen Inhalt abgewinnen wollen.

Paperback. Condition: New. Print on Demand. This book presents a compelling argument that in ancient Rome, there was a strong disconnect between legal theory and the actual practices of magistrates and the Senate. The author contends that the rule of law was often compromised in the name of preserving the state and maintaining public order. The author delves into the historical record to analyze the concept of a senatus consultum ultimum, an emergency decree that granted magistrates extraordinary powers to quell unrest. The book argues that this decree was frequently abused, with magistrates using it to silence political opponents and suppress dissent. The author also examines the lex Sempronia, a law designed to protect Roman citizens from arbitrary arrest and execution, arguing that it was often ignored when it came into conflict with the interests of the state. This book provides a nuanced and thought-provoking examination of the complex and often contradictory nature of Roman law and politics. It is a must-read for anyone interested in ancient Rome, the history of law, or the relationship between power and justice.
