Explore how ancient Rome handled high-stakes crime, from jury trials to systemic reforms.
Problems of the Roman Criminal Law, Vol. 2 offers a careful, scholarly look at the development of criminal procedure in the late Republic. It examines how juries moved from senate to equites, how extortion cases were handled, and how social and political forces shaped punishment and accountability. The text weaves together legal forms, notable trials, and the evolution of key laws that governed debt, calumny, and public accusations.
The work centers on the mechanics of crime and prosecution, tracing the shift from magistrate-led processes to dedicated jury courts and the long arc of legal reforms that followed. It analyzes doubts, precedents, and debates among ancient jurists and historians to illuminate how Rome tried to balance state authority with individual rights.
- How juries were formed and empowered in major trials for extortion and other crimes.
- The role of Calpurnian and Acilian laws in shaping procedures and remedies.
- Issues of calumnia, infamia, and the limits of private prosecution in Roman law.
- Connections between civil actions, criminal liability, and the concept of repayment or restitution.
Ideal for readers of legal and Roman history who want a precise, evidence-based view of how ancient justice operated.

Store description
We first started out as “The Paperback Exchange,” a chain of physical bookstores where we would part exchange your beloved books for new stories to transport you to faraway places. However, as shopping started to evolve to online shops and marketplaces, we bid our stores goodbye to become “PBShop.” This transition has only allowed us to blossom as we now ship thousands of titles to book lovers across the globe. We pride ourselves in being a community of local book lovers which allows our passion and devotion to shine in everything we do. In 2020 we not only celebrated our 20th birthday but our 1st birthday as being completely employee owned after becoming an E.O.T in September 2019. We are proud to be different and embrace standing apart on a book mountain by working from a virtual inventory which allows us to provide thousands of books that may be difficult to get for your bookshelf or your studies. Working with a number of different suppliers allows us to explore other avenues such as puzzles, sheet music and even stationery so we really do have something for everyone. Life is about being versatile in all realms of existence. If this is your first visit or you are a returning customer, we would like to welcome you to the PBShop family, for there is no friend as loyal as a book. We are a company who put our customers at the centre of everything we do as we understand the importance of reading because once you learn to read, you will forever be free. There are a whole lot of things in this world of ours that we are yet to explore, which is why we will forever inspire curious minds.…
