    Il crimen dell'Orazio superstite

    Full text link
    The problem of the legal qualification of Horatius’ crime is studied historically, taking into account the possible stratifications of the saga from the archaic age to the end of the Re-public. The result is that the idea of a crime arose between the 4th and 3rd centuries BC, and that it was initially qualified as perduellio, while the qualification as parricidium came later, in the most recent annalistic historiography

    Le res sacrae nel ius divinum: consecratio, dedicatio e profanatio

    The study of the res sacrae in Roman law has often been conducted from the point of view of the ius humanum. This essay deals instead with the rules of the ius divinum, and especially with the procedures through which a res became sacra and ceased to be so – that is, consecratio, dedicatio and profanatio. The sources show different procedures for the loca sacra and for all the other res: as to the former, solemn forms of consecration (and probably also profanatio) were envisaged; for the latter, consecration and profanatio were both informal. Furthermore, the sources attest to a different regime for the consecration of res and the consecratio bonorum, as well as to distinct meanings of the terms consecratio and dedicatio

    La struttura del matrimonio romano

    The iustae nuptiae were the archetypal Roman marriage, but not the only with juridical relevance: the Romans considered to some extents 'marriage' also those unions which respected neither ius civile nor the leges, and even concubinate had a juridical structure. The difference between these two institutions was that only the first implied a condivision of dignitas by the couple, while both were opposed to other relationships for being stable unions. The commonly held distinction between legal and social/ethical rules and its application to ancient cultures shows in this matter all its limits
