Synopsis

This book studies the evolution of the Roman state and legal system during the regal and early republican periods. It further examines the relationship of the early Roman populace to elected officials and their evolving attitude towards the legal rights of citizens. A primary focus is the evolution of distinct social classes, especially patricians and plebeians, and the legal distinctions that defined their roles and rights. Additionally, the book investigates the rise of the Roman senate during this period and the complex interplay of its development with that of the legal rights of individual citizens. The author examines how the socio-political changes of the period shaped the development of property, legal, and criminal law. Through a detailed analysis of primary sources, the author traces the legal and social changes that took place in Rome in the foundational period of its history and offers a nuanced understanding of the emergence of a legal and constitutional system that was to become foundational for many Western societies.
