La discriptio augustea dell’Italia: un tentativo di regionalismo?
No full textAmong the interventions that Augustus realized in Italy during his Principate, the attention of the scholars has been mainly attracted by his division of Italy into eleven regions. The insufficient informations that we receive from Pliny (nat. hist. 3, 46) have led to quite distant interpretations. Some scholars think that the regions had a purely statistic role, based on census (Mommsen, Nicolet, Laffi); for others, they were districts for the administration of public lands and imperial properties (Marquardt, De Martino). In this paper it is argued that the Augustan regions were territorial districts whose role was to convey the local data to the central admini-stration, probably including also lists of imperial lands; and it is questioned the possibility of a comparison between the Augustan invention and the administrative function of the modern regions

The work is the starting point for taking into consideration the similar structure of some other ‘mixed’ actions, which combine both functions to grant a remedy for each specific case — without building, in Roman law, a system af ‘actiones mixtae’. In fact, it is only the later civilian tradition that will trace a more rigid distinction between the compensatory and the penal functions, denying the possibility of their coexistence in the same action

No full textInternational Relationships in the Ancient World
No full textAs long as the Romans had contact with the people of Italy only, their treaties embodied the concept of societas. The new formula ‘amicitia and societas’ and the expression amicitia seem to have arisen only when Rome came into contact with other peoples in the Mediterranean area. The article aims to demonstrate that the roots of these new relationships are in the international relations of the ancient Near East, and that the Romans adopted them from the Greeks. Later, they adapted the formula to their expansive policy by using it to impose the maiestas populi Romani
