Full textAbstract:
In the Roman Eastern provinces, the concept and rituals of a province-wide imperial cult were based on a pre-existing tradition of Hellenistic ruler’s divinization and worship. But its formal mise en place was conformed to the new territorial framework of Roman administration: a gubernatorial provincia/ἐπαρχεία appears subdivided into several administrative sub-provinces that were likewise called provinciae/ἐπαρχεῖαι. The cities of almost all known eparchies in terms of sub-provinces formed koina responsible for the provincial imperial cult and the political representation of the provincials headed by priestly officials, such as bithyniarchai or ‘(high-)priests of the eparchy/-ies’, whose titles refer explicitly to the represented sub-province. The correlation between these koina and Roman territorial administration from almost all Eastern provinces demands more political functions of the koinon-officials than only priestly ones, as shown by the frequently combined titulatures.

In the Roman world, slavery played a crucial role. Besides private slaves, owned by individual masters, and—from the beginning of the Principate—imperial slaves, who were the property of the emperors, there were also the so-called public slaves: non-free individuals who were owned by a community, such as the Roman people as a whole in Rome (serui publici populi Romani), or the citizen body of a colony or a municipium in Italy or in the provinces (serui ciuitatum). Public slaves in Rome were employed for numerous public services and acted under the authority of the Senate as assistants to public magistrates, officers or priests. Similarly, in Italian and in provincial cities, they juridically depended on the decisions of local councils and performed various activities within the civic administration, beholden to the magistrates.

Full textAbstract:
This paper is a comparative analysis of the rural epigraphy of four Late Roman provinces. It concentrates on inscriptions that reveal patterns of land ownership and secular building activity, along with the effects of the Late Roman civil administration on village life. Centrifugal cultural factors are noted, such as the vulgarisation of the Greek frontier dialects and the synoikistic intrusion of Arabic linguistic elements. The stationing of military forces in rural fortresses and billets is examined for its effect on provincial infrastructure and the burdens it imposed on village life.

Full textAbstract:
Introduction. During the whole 4th c. the Late Roman frontier military units constantly took part in military campaigns against different enemies of the Empire, hovewer the author of this paper asks the question how precisely frontier military units managed their service, i.e. which functions they exercised and how they interacted to local civilian population of the province where they stood in. The author believes that a set of functions depended foremost on the location landscape. Methods and materials. The author applies the comparison approach, i.e. compares the peculiarities of two regions where the frontier armies stood: Isauria at the southeast of Asia Minor (mountain landscape) and Upper Germany at the Rhine frontier (mainly plain territory). The source accounts are “The Life of St. Conon of Isauria” (hagiography), an important inscription of Julian the Caesar (future Emperor Julian the Apostate) from Upper Germany (epigraphy) and the work of Ammianus Marcellinus “The Deeds” (Res gestae). Analysis. The author compares evidence on the military arrangement of two provinces and considers how their frontier units defended these lands from external and internal enemies, how they interacted to local population and how precisely they located in its forts. Conclusions. As a result the author concludes that the Roman administration could not place a large number of regular military units in Isauria, because this province had not enough fertile plain lands, this region suffered from the lack of food supply. The hard and cruel mountain landscape enforced to make the bands of irregular city militia – in the case of Isaurian assaults citizens formed military detachments, which were temporarily attached to regular units called vexillations. In contrast, at the Rhine frontier, where there were enough fertile flat lands, the Roman administration might place many regular units and, moreover, this region received detachments from expeditionary troops. In other words, the Roman administration had enough food supply to maintain a high number of regular frontier garrisons.

Full textAbstract:
The paper discusses the question of the defence of the Long Walls of Thrace (Μακρά Τείχη τῆς Θρᾴκης) or the Anastasian Wall (Αναστάσειο Τείχος) under Justinian the Great (527–565 A.D.). Emperor Anastasius I (491–518 A.D.) probably put an end to the vicarius Thraciarum, the head of administration of the late Roman Diocese of Thrace, establishing two vicars instead. One of them was responsible for the defence of the Long Walls of Thrace while the other was a purely civil officer. Both vicars governed the area of the Anastasian Wall also in the first years of Justinian’s reign. This administrative framework was useful for the defence of Constantinople itself but it also gave rise to certain problems. When Justinian reformed the provincial administration and abolished all vicariates in 535 A.D., he replaced the vicars of the Anastasian Wall with praetor Iustinianus Thraciae (Nov. Iust., XXVI – a. 535). Next year, the emperor created the peculiar post of quaestor Iustinianus exercitus (Nov. Iust., XLI). The territory of the quaestura contained the provinces Moesia Secunda and Scythia Minor, located in the lower Danube region, as well as the provinces of Cyprus, Caria and the Aegean Islands. In turn, the responsibilities of the Praetor of Thrace were confined to the region of the Anastasian Wall. The new post combined the functions of military officer and head of civil administration. The nature of praetor Thraciae is discussed in the light of Nov. Iust., XXVI and compared with analogous praetors established in the provinces of Paphlagonia and Pisidia (Nov. Iust., XXIV–XXV), as well as other data. After the fall of John of Cappadocia in 541, Justinian revoked some administrative reforms, restoring the vicariate of Pontica and restoring former powers to the comes Orientis who played the same role as a vicar in the Diocese of Oriens. In the Balkans, Justinian left the post of quaestor Iustinianus exercitus intact. Meanwhile, the function of the preator Thraciae, which proved to be inefficient, as the incursions of the Slavs (ca. 550) and the Kutrigur Bulgars in 559 had shown, was possibly abolished. The repairs of the Anastasian Wall needed to be conducted after the great earthquake in 557 A.D. by Justinian himself, which indirectly demonstrates the weakness of administration under praetor Thraciae or the earlier abolishment of the post. It is likely that instead Justinian reinstated the post of the vicar of Thrace, who became a civil administrator over the part of the former Diocese of Thrace limited to the provinces of Europa, Haemimontus, Rhodopa and Thracia, a function which was probably more suited to overseeing construction undertakings conducted at the time in the Balkans.

A distinctive feature of modern Canada is the dualism of its legal system. This means that in the country there are two systems of law - continental (Roman-German) and Anglo-Saxon (precedent). Each of these systems differ in their approaches to the understanding of law and justice implementation. However, the main difference is due to the fact that each of these systems relies on its own sources of law. If the basis of the criminal and private law in general, and the federation of nine provinces in particular is common (case) law of England, in the province of Quebec are used English (basically) criminal law and French civil law in its origin.
Historically, this was due to the fact that at the time of the conquest of the colony of New France (now Quebec) in the XVIII century it had a relatively developed legal system, including the system of administration of justice. At the heart of the local sources of law were kutyums of Paris, supplementing ordinances of the French kings. Inclusion of New France in the possession of the English Crown was for the new authorities a precedent - the first time in the history of the British colonial empire it acquired a part of the territory with a Christian population and European law.
In fact, the British colonial authorities had to make a choice, which was to determine the vector of further legal development of not only the newly conquered colony, but the whole of British North America. According to the rules of English case law the medieval English monarch (as sovereign) could either admit the law to of its new ownershipin force at the time of the conquest, or introduce there English law in force at the time. In view of the prevailing circumstances of the specific historical issue of the replacement of French law (including sources and the administration of justice) in English it turned out to be extremely difficult from the socio-political and a formal legal point of view.
This article analyzes the problems encountered during the initial stage of the legal system of the British colony of Quebec and, in particular, of the sources of its territorial law.

Full textAbstract:
The article examines the practice of entering into dynastic marriages as part of the policy that was held in relation to vassal kings during the reign of the emperor Augustus (30 BC - AD 14). The author introduces the term Augustus project, bearing in mind the package of measures, aimed at creating a system of vassal kingdoms on the outskirts of the Roman Empire. According to the author, dynastic marriages as an effective instrument of real policy should have cemented the building blocks of the system. In the main part of the article the author analyses ten well-known dynastic marriages, related to the reign of Augustus. As a result of the research undertaken, the author concludes that Augustus, of course, sought to control the behavior of the kings-collaborators. Sometimes things got out of hand, and then the emperor should have intervened to resolve the resulting conflict of interests. The author asks: what did Augustus demand of vassal rulers? The answer is: loyalty and efficiency in the administration of the territories entrusted to them, which meant not only the timely dispatch to Rome of established monetary sums (tributes, taxes and other payments), but also to protect the local population from external enemies, as well as political stability and the rule of law. If it was all there and there was no danger, real or potential, for the peace and stability of the empire, Augustus overlooked extravagant matrimonial combinations, polygamy, conflicts with children and other excesses in the family life of dependent kings. But when it came to questioning loyalty and efficiency, Augustus was unmerciful and merciless in punishing the guilty. Immediate successors to Augustus rejected the Augustus project and gradually eliminated most vassal kingdoms, turning them into provinces under the control of the governors.

Full textAbstract:
This research examines how, when and why the Romans assigned and defined the tasks of preparing and commanding fleets during the Republic. In doing so, it brings new evidence to bear on the wider debates about the nature of the prouincia and the institutional and administrative development of the Roman empire. The communis opinio is that a prouincia originally represented a functional “sphere of operation” that was allotted or assigned to a magistrate and that it only later developed a geographical meaning with territorial connotations through the process of “provincialisation.” This research challenges that view through an analysis of the evidence for the definition, assignment and practical use of the prouincia classis and other prouinciae connected with the command of fleets. Drawing upon and analysing the lists of administrative arrangements to be found in the “annalistic” sections of the surviving books of Livy’s History, it argues that prouinciae were defined in specific geographical and functional terms long before the development of permanent territorial empire. This offers a new perspective which points to and elucidates the flexible use of the prouincia as a means of separating magistrates and promagistrates in space or by function in space. It argues that the rationale for this was to limit conflicts between commanders over command and triumphal rights. By combining evidence from a wide range of sources after the loss of Livy’s History from 167, the research shows that the above rationale for demarcating prouinciae still applied in the first century B.C. However, it also demonstrates that there were significant changes with the assignment of vast Mediterranean-wide naval prouinciae in the first half of the first century B.C. It argues that the definition of these prouinciae was made possible by the development of a singular collective Mediterranean-wide ora maritima, which was brought about by the Romans’ increasing “acknowledgement of empire.” The negative political and institutional implications of these developments are also assessed. Finally, in discussing the above, this research also provides new insights into the role and auctoritas of the Senate, the function and freedom of magistrates, and the Romans’ conceptualisation of their empire.

Full textAbstract:
This study explores attempts to improve provincial governance in the late Republic, with a particular focus on the contributions of Pompey and the younger Cato. I argue that Romans were more aware of the problems of their empire than is generally recognised and were taking steps to address them. Chapter One examines the programme Pompey implemented as consul in 70 to combat the related problems of exploitation in the provinces and corruption in the courts. In Chapter 2 I turn to Pompey’s eastern campaigns and his attempt to realise an ideal of ethical imperialism. Chapter Three argues for a direct connection between Cato’s Stoic philosophy and his approach to empire, but one that was compatible with constructive action. Chapter Four reviews the context and content of Caesar’s extortion law of 59. I argue that both Pompey and (indirectly) Cato helped to shape the content of the law. The lex Julia was flawed, however, in that it applied only to senators and not to equestrian members of a governor’s staff. Chapter Five explores Pompey’s attempt in 55 to rectify that deficiency (with the support, I argue, of Cato and friends) and Cato’s attempt the following year to achieve something similar through the courts. Chapter Six examines Roman efforts to secure the loyalty of the eastern provinces in the aftermath of Carrhae. The Parthian threat was real, as was the defence response, but there was no notion of ‘avenging Crassus’ in this period. Rather, the disaster was the catalyst for a concerted programme of provincial reform. The final two chapters explore that programme in detail. The lex Pompeia de provinciis of 52—the product of collaboration between Pompey and Cato—provided the legislative framework by transforming the nature of provincial appointments. Cato also gave his name to the policy pursued by those appointed under the law. It promoted not only ethical government but deeper ethical change. This project might have produced lasting reform but for the onset of civil war.

Full textAbstract:
Avec ma thèse de doctorat, j’ai pour objectif d’étudier la place et l’influence des commerçants et des transporteurs de la société des provinces gauloises et germaniques du Haut Empire Romain ainsi que les relations existant entre eux et d’autres agents sociaux comme les notables locaux. En développant mes recherches précédentes à propos des relations entre les notables locaux et les commerçants gaulois comme des relations parmi ces derniers et en élargissant le champ de recherche, j’ai l’intention de répondre à la question suivante : - Comment les milieux relatifs aux activités économiques, y compris les transporteurs et les propriétaires fonciers, participaient-ils au commerce ? Certes, nous avons connaissance de plusieurs recherches traitant des marchands dans les provinces du nord-ouest. Cependant nous ferons deux remarques. D’une part, on donne surtout de l’importance aux problèmes les concernant en tant que groupe social plutôt qu’aux rapports entre milieux différents, soit les rapports entre commerçants, soit ceux entre ces derniers et d’autres agents sociaux. D’autre part, certains chercheurs, en incluant dans le champ de recherche les provinces gauloises, nous semblent engager un débat basé sur des sources provenant notamment de grands centres commerciaux comme Ostie et Lyon. Mais on peut se demander s’il est toujours possible de généraliser les résultats obtenus à ces points importants du commerce en raison de leur caractère très singulier et de leur documentation. Dans cette situation de recherche et dans le contexte provincial, mon étude a pour but de mieux comprendre la nature et la fonction sociale des participants aux actions commerciales, mais également les particularités de la société des provinces du nord-ouest. Plus concrètement, tout en continuant à examiner les rapports entre les hommes de métier et les élites, j’analyse les relations parmi les hommes de métier eux-mêmes. Dans ce but, je dépouille des inscriptions concernant les milieux commerciaux ou les transporteurs dans les provinces gauloises et germaniques, tout en tenant compte des données archéologiquesWith my dissertation, I aim to examine the role and influence of merchants and transporters in the society of Gallic and Germanic provinces of the Early Roman Empire and the relationships between them and other social agents like local notables. Developing my previous researches about rapports between local élite and Gallic merchants as well as relationships among the latter, and broadening the scope of research, I intend to reply to following question: - How did those who were related to economic activities, including transporters and landowners, participate in trade? Certainly, we are aware of many studies on merchants in the northwestern provinces. However, we can make two remarks. On the one hand, certain scholars give particular importance to the issues related to traders as a social group rather than to relationships between different people, either relationships among merchants or those between them and other social agents. On the other hand, some researchers, who include the Gallic provinces in their scopes of research, seem to engage in discussions based on sources mainly from commercial centers like Ostia and Lyon. But one may wonder if it is always possible to generalize the results got at these important commercial hubs because of their singular character and their documentation. In this research situation and in the provincial context, my study aims to better understand the social nature and function of participants in commercial activities, but also the characteristics of the society of the northwest provinces. More specifically, while continuing to examine the relationships between skilled people and élite, I analyze the rapports among the skilled themselves. For this purpose, I study in detail inscriptions concerned with merchants or transporters in the provinces of Gaul and Germania, taking into account archaeological sources

Full textAbstract:
Le recensement provincial est une institution centrale de l’Empire romain. Né avec le Principat, il était destiné à estimer les ressources humaines et matérielles des territoires sous domination romaine, et s’est imposé comme la clé de voûte de la fiscalité provinciale. Néanmoins, il demeure mal connu. Cette situation vient de la faiblesse numérique des sources et de leur nature. En dehors de l'Égypte, les cens provinciaux sont essentiellement connus grâce à des inscriptions dédiées aux sénateurs et chevaliers ayant participé à ces opérations. Pour étudier le recensement à l'échelle de l'empire, il nous donc a paru nécessaire de diversifier les points de vue et de ne pas nous limiter à l'approche la plus fréquemment adoptée dans les études consacrées au census, l'analyse prosopographique. Bien que cette dernière s'impose comme la plus naturelle étant donné la nature de la documentation qui nous est parvenue, elle limite le champ d'étude aux seules provinces dans lesquelles sont attestés des censiteurs impériaux et peine à rendre compte de la logique d'ensemble de l'institution comme des modalités selon lesquelles l'information était collectée. Notre objectif était d'écrire une histoire fiscale et politique du recensement, mais aussi une histoire de ses procédures et non pas seulement de ses agents. Nous avons donc choisi d’élargir l’angle d’approche et d'inclure dans notre corpus toutes les sources littéraires, papyrologiques et juridiques susceptibles de nous éclairer sur cette institution. La première partie est consacrée aux aspects fiscaux et tente de comprendre le fonctionnement de l’impôt provincial. Dans quelles mesures le recensement se prêtait-il à la collecte des informations nécessaires à la levée des tributa ? La deuxième s'intéresse au déroulement des opérations dans les diverses provinces. Notre objectif est d'identifier les différents niveaux de collecte de l'information tout en rendant compte des différences régionales dont témoignent les sources. Au coeur de cette partie se trouve une réflexion sur la complémentarité entre le niveau local et le niveau provincial et sur les documents qui étaient produits aux divers échelons. Enfin, nous abordons dans un troisième temps les aspects institutionnels et politiques afin de comprendre dans quelles mesures cette institution était caractéristique du nouveau régime qui vit le jour avec Auguste. Cette partie est également consacrée à l'étude des relations entre les agents en charge des opérations et les provinciaux qui y étaient soumisThe provincial census is a key institution of the Roman Empire. Instituted by the first Princeps, Augustus, it was aimed at estimating the human and material resources of the territories which were under Roman control, and thus proved to be a cornerstone of the Roman fiscal system. Nevertheless, it remains mostly unknown to this date, which can be explained by the lack of sources and by their nature: apart from Egypt, provincial censuses are mostly attested through inscriptions dedicated to senators and knights who took part in these operations. In this dissertation, we chose to tackle the subject from novel perspectives and not to limit ourselves to the prosopographic approach that remains so far the most frequently adopted one. Despite its relevance given the nature of the sources, it restricts the study to the provinces in which census officials are known, and fails to give a comprehensive idea of the institution and of the methods through which information was collected. Our goal was not only to write a fiscal and political history of the census, but also to describe its process and identify its agents. To this end were included into our corpus all the literary, papyrological and juridical sources that might improve our understanding of this institution. Firstly, we focused on the two main provincial taxes, i.e. tributum soli and tributum capitis, in order to describe the fiscal system at work in the provinces and to identify the criteria on which these tributa were imposed. Secondly, we studied the way information was collected during the census. Our goal was to unravel the levels (local, provincial) through which data transited, their interactions, and the documents each one of them produced. At the same time, we wanted to emphasize the differences that existed between provinces, and to explain them. Finally, we addressed the institutional and political aspects of the provincial census: to what extent was this institution representative of the new regime that appeared with Augustus, and an opportunity for the provincials to initiate a dialog with the Princeps through his representatives?

Cette étude s’intéresse conjointement à l’essence de la domination romaine sur une région jouissant d’une longue tradition d’autonomie et au devenir de la cité grecque et de ses institutions dans le prolongement des siècles antérieurs. La première partie dresse une typologie des structures de l’administration judiciaire dans les provinces d’Asie et d’Achaïe. La deuxième est consacrée aux modalités du partage des compétences entre les autorités romaines et les juridictions des cités. La troisième, sous un angle moins institutionnel, s’intéresse au point de vue des justiciables provinciaux sur un système de nature pyramidale et aux motivations qui sous-tendent les recours intentés devant les tribunaux romains. Au travers du prisme judiciaire, l’Empire apparaît comme un pouvoir pragmatique, qui réserve à ses tribunaux la haute juridiction pénale mais laisse aux cités une part d’autonomie importante. Celles-ci conservent des institutions judiciaires héritées pour la plupart de l’époque hellénistique, même si la participation populaire tend à décliner au profit d’organes élitairesAt the centre of the investigation is the nature of Roman rule upon cities which possessed a long tradition of self-government and administration. Part I is a survey of judiciary structures in the provinces of Asia and Achaia. Part II deals with the division of judicial task between roman authorities and civic governments. Part III is concerned with the provincial litigants’ attitude towards a pyramidal system and the grounds of voluntary applications to Roman courts. Roman rule appears as a pragmatic one, which claims as a part of its sovereignty criminal jurisdiction and all cases related to Roman citizens, but otherwise concedes a large autonomy to local courts. Cities’ judiciary organization is largely inherited from the hellenistic period, although oligarchical institutions tend to supplant popular justice

Cette recherche concerne donc la figure d' Antonin le Pieux et les dispositions prises directement en conséquence à son auctoritas, afin d'identifier le Leitmotiv de l'empire de l'empereur. Mon enquête s'agit de mettre en évidence les choix politiques impériaux, pour ensuite identifier les principes et les lignes directrices à travers l'analyse des mandata principum, des rescrits, des lettres de l'empereur aux gouverneurs, des témoignages et des formes de correspondance. Le parcours se compose de quatre chapitres. Le premier dessine un cadre diachronique et historique des étapes les plus importantes de la province d'Asie, en mettant en évidence surtout l'histoire politico-administrative. Le deuxième chapitre analyse les aspects institutionnels qui ont permis de mettre au point, dans une perspective qualitative et quantitative, les relations entre Antonin le Pieux et la province d'Asie, principalement selon un ordre chronologique. Le troisième chapitre est dédié à l'étude prosopographique du personnel administratif de la province d'Asie et à la rédaction des Fastes, dans le but de donner une chronologie des gouverneurs, utile à définir un cadre du système politique, des relations et des intérêts entre les membres de l'ordo sénatorial. Le quatrième chapitre est dédié à l'étude du système conventuel. Les exemples étudiés ont donc mis en valeur le fait que Antonin, grâce à son expérience en tant que proconsul en Asie, a mieux géré l'organisation du système conventuel, ce qui lui a permis de augmenter le nombre des chefs-lieux, dans l'intérêt des cités émergentes en Phrygie, surtout en ce qui concerne le système administratif et économiqueThis research concerns the figure of Antonius Pius and the dispositions which are directly taken accordingly to his auctoritas, in order to identify the Leitmotiv of his empire. The aim of this research is to highlight the imperial political choices and, through the analysis of mandata principum, rescripts, letters from the emperor to governors, testimonies and forms of correspondence, to identify the principles and guidelines of his politics. The monograph consists of four chapters. The first chapter is devoted to a historical excursus, which is useful to have a preliminary historical view of the province of Asia, with particular attention to the political and administrative aspects. The second chapter focuses the institutional aspects in the relationship between Antoninus Pius and the province of Asia, from a qualitative and quantitative perspective. The third chapter is dedicated to a prosopographical study of the administrative staff of the province of Asia, useful to define a framework of the political system, relations and interests within the members of the Senate and the imperial family. The fourth chapter is devoted to the study of the conventual system : the evidences highlight how Antonin, thanks to his experience as a proconsul in Asia, managed a better organization of the conventual system, probably increasing the number of the capitals

L'étude des principes, vergobrets, préteurs, et autres magistri, ainsi que celle des arcantodans et des questeurs, attestent des amalgames institutionnels réalisés non seulement après la conquête mais aussi durant toute la période retenue. Dans ce contexte, l'image de la royauté gauloise et les symboles forts qui peuvent lui être associés (comme le torque) sont récupérés par les milieux politiques romains pour glorifier ou dénigrer l'empereur. Le prince semble limiter en théorie la juridiction municipale en Gaule comme ailleurs mais cette dernière peut connaître une certaine étendue en profitant des circonstances qui lient les histoires aux soubresauts de l'Empire, et en jouant sur les immenses possibilités de suggestions des figurations du pouvoir comme de celles des hommes qui l'exercent dans les cités. Au coeur de ce jeu entre la réalité et la représentation, on trouve la question du maintien de l'ordre dans la cité. Les institutions de coercition sont certes limitées en nombre mais permettent toujours à leurs gestionnaires de se distinguer

Full textAbstract:
The city of Dura-Europos was a melting pot of cultures, influences and traditions—in the legal realm no less than others. The extensive papyri and parchment finds not only cast light on military life in the city but also the role this had in justice administration. Civilian contracts fill out our picture of legal practice more generally, both in the city and in the surrounding area. These date from before and after the constitutio Antoniniana and exist in a variety of languages: Latin, Greek, and Syriac. This chapter compares this evidence with that of the Middle Euphrates papyri to determine how much consistency is found between cities and villages, and between the Roman era and the period that preceded it at the very edges of the empire.

The relationship of Roman judges to native law has recently been discussed extensively by Alonso (2013) from a juristic perspective. This chapter explores the subject from a more historical viewpoint: What were the underlying principles of Roman legal administration in the provinces, and what place was assigned to pre-Roman legal traditions? The province of Egypt, extensively documented through papyri, can serve to illustrate the general conditions faced by governors throughout the empire: environmental features, local knowledge, and a diverse group of advisers all determined the way justice was administered. Overarching ideals can nevertheless be identified. Roman conceptions of justice included the acknowledgment of non-Roman legal traditions, as long as these were not deemed to violate fundamental principles of humanitas.

This chapter examines one of the mechanisms used by the Roman administration in Egypt to organize data: ‘all-embracing’ categories, and the manner in which the imperial government divided and categorized the provincial population. The concentration is on taxes and registration. Differences are found in the categorizations most commonly employed in different parts of the province and in different types of document, meaning that individuals could be labelled differently depending on context. While many categories had their roots in the previous regime, there were a few significant innovations, most notably the invention of the category of ‘the Egyptians’ to encompass all who were not Roman or Alexandrian. This has significant implications for the creation of a unified set of rules, applicable to this category of people in all legal cases and thus transformed the legal landscape from that under the Ptolemies.

The Roman imperial system of law, courts and jurisdiction was a sphere in which the Roman empire exercised a profound impact on the society and culture of its provinces. In Roman Africa, law and courts were central to what it meant to be and become ‘Roman’. This was the case both in the sense of adopting Roman legal forms and institutions, and also in the sense of adopting a Roman model of elite education, where training in forensic rhetoric and pleading in the courts was instrumental for the making of successful careers in politics and administration. This chapter examines the development and professionalization of legal and forensic activity in Roman Africa, from the establishment of the Principate to the age of Augustine (c.31 BCE–435 CE). Key topics that are addressed include: career structures, the typology and social profile of ‘lawyers’ (advocates, legal consultants, assessors, judges, notaries), the place of law in the rhetorical curriculum, profession and professionalization as analytical categories.

This chapter deals with the knowledge provincials had, and the use they made, of Roman criminal procedure in the provinces of Asia Minor during the imperial period. This will be examined through two main categories of evidence: (1) petitions to emperors complaining about Roman soldiers or functionaries’ abuses against local population, (2) funerary inscriptions including provisions claiming that fines should be paid to the imperial treasury in case of desecration. This evidence supports the view that (unlike part of scholarship has been assuming for a long time) Roman criminal procedure still included accusatorial features under the Principate and that a formal accusation was needed for a proper criminal investigation to be launched. It is argued that provincials were deeply aware of what Roman criminal law was and could explicitly refer to some specific provisions in order to defend their own interests and even to challenge decisions made by the Roman administration.

Full textAbstract:
Judaea in many ways posed a problem to Roman administrators, and not just due to the history of rebellion in the region in the first and second centuries CE. How should a population with its own very distinctive legal tradition be administered in the context of the imperial enterprise? This chapter concentrates particularly on the question of the availability and interaction of different jurisdictions in the region from 6 CE, when the area first came under direct Roman rule, up to the foundation of Aelia Capitolina. It is argued that the odd administration of the region makes this a particularly problematic case, and the oscillation between indirect and direct rule was a key factor in assessing the level of Roman influence on legal forms and institutions.

Full textAbstract:
When octavian-augustus gained control of Egypt in 30 bc he inherited the administration which had been installed by his Ptolemaic predecessors, but added the Praefectus Aegypti, a Roman Eques, as the new head of the government of Roman Egypt. Augustus retained the Egyptian closed currency system, and struck only bronze denominations (those early in the reign were a continuation of those from towards the end of the reign of Cleopatra VII). Regnal years appeared from year 28 (L KH = 3/2 BC) to year 42 (L MB = AD 12/13). After a gap of about fifty years new debased silver (billon) tetradrachms were issued by Tiberius in his seventh year (L Z = AD 20/1). The tetradrachm, normally called state´r in papyri, survived as a denomination, with a decrease in its weight and silver content, until the reform of Diocletian in Egypt in AD 296/7, when the new Latin nummus replaced the old ‘Greek’ system. The bronze coinage reached its peak in the first half of the second century when it consisted of a range of denominations of the drachma and its fractions, and when the output especially of bronze drachmas became very extensive; some last examples of bronze coins appear under Gallienus and Claudius II. The typology of this coinage includes a great variety of individual reverse designs. We find Greek, Roman, and Egyptian topics. As may be expected, Egyptian religious and cultural life is represented in a wide range of images; Roman ideas and types, like images of members of the imperial family, personifications, events in Rome and elsewhere in the empire, are copied or reflected by the Alexandrian mint; finally, Greek types occur in the form of representations of deities of the traditional Graeco-Roman pantheon, or as pictorial scenes from mythology. There are some remarkable series of bronze coins preserved; among them are the so-called nome coins (or coins of the nomes of Roman Egypt). Since pharaonic times Egypt had been divided into forty-two administrative districts, which the Greeks later called nomoí (singular nomós). Classical authors give different numbers of nomes and so do the coins in question.
