Note in materia di legato di 'omne argentum', dai Topica di Cicerone ai Digesta Iustiniani
No full textIl lavoro si propone di analizzare alcune fattispecie in materia di legato di argento. Nei Topica di Cicerone si pone il seguente quesito: il legato di omne argentum racchiude in sé anche la pecunia? L’autore assume una posizione che si colloca consentaneamente rispetto alla giurisprudenza più innovatrice che aveva svolto un profondo lavoro di interpretazione sulla voluntas testantis. L’evoluzione giurisprudenziale si muove in parallelo rispetto alle modificazioni economiche del valore del metallo prezioso e alla contemporanea traslazione lessicale e concettuale che il bene subisce.The work aims to analyse some cases about the legacy of silver. In Cicero’s Topica there is a question: the legacy of omne argentum can contain also the money? The author takes a position similar to the most innovative jurists: they done a deep work of interpretation of the voluntas testantis. The evolution of jurisprudence is moving in parallel to the economic changes of the metal value and contemporary lexical and conceptual shift that good undergoes
Gli esiti delle pronunce sullo 'status libertatis': alcune riflessioni
No full textLe fonti giuridiche e letterarie anche di età risalente recano testimonianza di un processo, governato da regole sue proprie e noto
come causa liberalis , la cui funzione era quella di accertare lo stato
di un individuo laddove sorgesse dubbio circa l’esatta coincidenza
tra situazione di fatto e situazione giuridica.

The Heritage Age dowry in Greek-Roman practice
No full textThe dowry institution, since its most ancient practices, is an interesting testing ground of the relationship between husband and wife and, more generally, between man and woman. It attests the original foundation of the dowry heritage, along with the practice of dowry restitution, when the marriage ends. In Roman law two different dowry systems developed: the dos adventicia and the dos profecticia. In the classical age they both suffered important changes as compared with the archaic law. These changes entailed a progressive increasing of the dowry restitution to the wife and its subtraction from the husband’s assets, in case of marriage dissolution. Even more favorable to women and to the recognition of their heritage dowry ownership was the legislation of the different Greek poleis, as showed by the law of Gortyn.
In fact, a Modestino’s passage, reported in D. 31.34.7, particularly shows the difference between Roman and Greek dowry systems. It testifies that, in provincial law, the woman’s legal position was granted favors, in case of wife’s premature death. At the same time, it discloses the novelty of the 3rd Century AD Roman jurist’s interpretation. That is, Modestino resolutely accepts to solve a ictu oculi case, whose principles were different from those he normally applied, and he accepts its outcomes too, although in stark contrast to the established civil Roman practice. So, the woman civil status improves, as wives are acknowledged free and leading patrimonial subjectivity
A workflow for forward and inverse modelling of ground deformations associated with pre-eruptive magma ascent scenarios
No full textVolcanic eruptions are often preceded by geophysical signals such as ground deformation and seismicity. These signals are frequently combined with information from previous unrest and eruption episodes and physical models to explore possible scenarios for the future behavior of the volcanic system. This task is especially challenging for volcanoes that have not erupted in recent decades: scarce data on their behavior necessarily lead to poorly constrained scenarios. This study proposes a workflow for defining physics-based magma ascent scenarios, leveraging on the physical understanding of magmatic unrest gained at volcanoes worldwide. The proposed workflow involves several steps: constraining the stress field, simulating dike ascent with a 3D numerical model, calculating the induced surface deformation and using the simulated data to verify our ability to track magma ascent as various processes complicate the unrest. I illustrate the workflow with a synthetic example and discuss how to further develop this approach
