Synopsis
While the Romans lived in a society very different from our own, they shared the same fear of crime and the same hope that the law could control it. Ordinary citizens might be afraid of muggers or thieves; officials could abuse their powers or embezzle public monies; emperors feared plotters and were concerned to repress subversive ideas and doctrines. This book provides a comprehensive examination of substantive criminal law in Ancient Rome.

From the Publisher
"This is a short book for Roman lawyers in a hurry, with punchy chapters outlining the various criminal offenses that the Roman law recognized. The point of the book is chiefly to outline what the law was; procedure and punishment are dealt with summarily. The substantive law is reconstructed by economically leavening material from books forty-seven and -eight of the Digest with other legal and literary evidence."—J. E. Lendon, Classical Journal
"Robinson discusses the framework within which the law operated and the nature of criminal responsibility. She looks particularly at the criminal law in Rome as it was established in the Late Republic under Sulla's system of standing jury-courts."—Law and Social Inquiry
