Paperback. Condition: New. Print on Demand. This book by the author of Sicily's history provides a perspective on the island's legal and cultural relationship to Rome during the period from the third to the second century B.C. While Rome spread its influence throughout the Mediterranean region during this period, the relationship between Rome and Sicily was particularly intertwined, as Sicily became an important province of the Roman Republic. The book focuses on the legal framework that governed this relationship, particularly through an examination of the practical legal issues that arose when Roman law and Sicilian law intersected. By studying the role of Roman legal principles, as well as the ways in which native Sicilian precedents continued to influence local practices, the author presents a fresh perspective on the topic. Of particular interest is the way in which existing legal structures and principles were adapted by both parties to accommodate evolving relationships and power structures. These insights, carefully extracted from an examination of legal sources, shed light on the nature of provincial administration and the coexistence of distinct legal systems within the Roman Empire.
