Course unit content

<p>(The course – which takes the form of seminars in which Latin texts (the translations of which are provided) are read and commented - provides an in-depth study of the public institutions of Rome, over the bimillenary of its history, and presents its continuity and discontinuity between monarchy, republic, principate and late ancient empire. In addition to public law in its strict sense, special attention will be dedicated to criminal law, mainly in the perspective of the legal limits that governed the attendant repression, to therefore concentrate on the forms of criminal justice administration and on the guarantees acknowledged therein to the citizen. <br />
