Details

This volume brings together an international team of scholars to debate Cicero's role in the narrative of Roman law in the late Republic - a role that has been minimised or overlooked in previous scholarship.

This reappraisal of Cicero reflects current thinking in Roman Law and forms part of a larger and more complex debate concerning the nature of law and of the legal profession in the last century of the Roman Republic.
