About This Book

The work offers a systematic exposition of Roman public law and the political evolution from the earliest kings to the late imperial reorganization, emphasizing institutional forms over exhaustive documentary proof. It is organized to treat citizenship and the monarchy; general principles of the magistracy; individual magistracies and offices; public functions; and the popular assemblies and the senate. It examines family and marriage as legal foundations of civic status, the clientela and dependent social bonds, and the constitutional cooperation between magistrates, assemblies and senate. The author privileges clear presentation of essential institutions and their historical development to make complex legal structures accessible to jurists and students.
