    Proculus' Doctrine on the Economic Purposes of Money

    No full text
    The essay analyses the jurisprudential debate between Proculians and Sabinians in the light of the Tiberian economic policy, when some laws of Caesar were restored in order to overcome the cash flow crisis of 33 a.D. Nerva’s suicide and Proculus’ remembrance of the civil wars are the background of the juridical thought concerning the purposes (both saving and investment) of money. The author examines the development of the Proculus’ doctrine throughout some fragments of Celsus, Africanus and Scaevola

    Gellio, lettore di Sabino

    No full text
    In four spots of the Noctes Atticae Gellius quotes the Memorialia of Masurius Sabinus. In this essay the author wonders whether Gellius directly consulted Sabinus’s work or obtained information from different sources. The Sabinian fragment (Gell. 3.16.23) taken from Pliny’s Naturalis historia is also analyzed: despite the presence of several analogies with the narrative structure of fragments of the Memorialia preserved by Gellius, the author assumes that it is taken from a different Sabinan work. Doubts are expressed, however, about direct consultation of Gellius’ other writings
