Abstract

The Impact of Justice on the Roman Empire discusses ways in which notions, practice and the ideology of justice impacted on the functioning of the Roman Empire. The papers assembled in this volume follow from the thirteenth workshop of the international network Impact of Empire. They focus on what was considered just in various groups of Roman subjects, how these views were legitimated, shifted over time, and how they affected policy making and political, administrative, and judicial practices. Linking all of the papers are three common themes: the emperor and justice, justice in a dispersed empire and differentiation of justice.

Abstract

La méthode prosopographique, mise au point par des historiens de Rome au xixe siècle, s’attache à la constitution de notices individuelles fondées sur des renseignements biographiques de toutes sortes à propos de personnes ayant des liens entre elles. L’analyse comparée de l’ensemble des notices, à partir du matériel réuni, classé et interprété, permet d’établir les points communs et particularités, en vue d’une synthèse d’histoire générale. Cette méthode a contribué, dès ses origines, au renouvellement de nos connaissances de l’empire romain. Les diverses contributions de ce symposium international, célébrant l’activité scientifique de Janine Desmulliez, professeur émérite d’Histoire du christianisme à Lille 3, se présentent comme la première synthèse de ce type, à portée méthodologique et historiographique, fondée sur des recherches originales, d’éminents prosopographes comme de jeunes chercheurs, abordant sur la longue durée de multiples aspects de la société romaine d’empire, païenne et chrétienne. Des empereurs aux gouverneurs de provinces, des prêtres et dévots païens aux évêques et pères de l’Église chrétienne, ce sont autant d’éléments constitutifs de la société romaine d’empire qui sont éclairés par l’analyse prosopographique des données disponibles, sa méthode rigoureuse et ses résultats assurés. Ce volume illustre la fécondité de recherches entreprises dont la seule légitimité est de faire progresser l’histoire sociale du monde romain, cette « vie des autres », ce miroir de l’humanité qu’évoque Ségolène Demougin en conclusion.

Abstract

"This volume aims to address the question of political communication in the Roman world. It draws upon social sciences and the current trend for the historical study of political communication. The book tackles three main problems: What constitutes political communication in the Roman world? In what ways could information be transmitted and represented? What mechanisms made political communication successful or unsuccessful? This edited volume covers questions like speech and mechanisms of political communication, political communication at a distance, bottom-up communication, failure of communication and representation of political communication. It will be of help to specialists in the Roman world, but also to students and researchers of political sciences, and specialists of political communication in pre-industrial times. Contributors are: Henriette van der Blom, Juan Manuel Cortés Copete, Cyril Courrier, Antonio Duplá Ansuategui, Martin Jehne, Julio Cesar Magalhães de Oliveira, Rosario Moreno Soldevila, Francisco Pina Polo, Cristina Rosillo-López, Catherine Steel, Jeffrey Tatum"--Provided by publisher.

Abstract

The Roman empire set law at the center of its very identity. A complex and robust ideology of law and justice is evident not only in the dynamics of imperial administration, but a host of cultural arenas. Citizenship named the privilege of falling under Roman jurisdiction, legal expertise was cultural capital. A faith in the emperor’s intimate concern for justice was a key component of the voluntary connection binding Romans and provincials to the state. Even as law was a central mechanism for control and the administration of state violence, it also exerted a magnetic effect on the peoples under its control. Adopting a range of approaches, the essays explore the impact of Roman law, both in the tribunal and in the culture. Unique to this anthology is attention to legal professionals and cultural intermediaries operating at the empire’s periphery. The studies here allow one to see how law operated among a range of populations and provincials—from Gauls and Brittons to Egyptians and Jews—exploring the ways local peoples creatively navigated, and constructed, their legal realities between Roman and local mores. They draw our attention to the space between laws and legal ideas, between ethnic, especially Jewish, life and law and the structures of Roman might; cases in which shared concepts result in diverse ends; the pageantry of the legal tribunal, the imperatives and corruptions of power differentials; and the importance of reading the gaps between depiction of law and its actual workings. This volume is unusual in bringing Jewish, and especially rabbinic, sources and perspectives together with Roman, Greek or Christian ones. This is the result of its being part of the research program “Judaism and Rome” (ERC Grant Agreement no. 614 424), dedicated to the study of the impact of the Roman empire upon ancient Judaism.
