With a broad chronological sweep, this book provides an historical
account of Roman law and legal institutions which explains how they
were created and modified in relation to political developments and
changes in power relations. It underlines the constant tension
between two central aspects of Roman politics: the aristocratic
nature of the system of government, and the drive for increased
popular participation in decision-making and the exercise of power.
The traditional balance of power underwent a radical transformation
under Augustus, with new processes of integration and social
mobility brought into play. Professor Capogrossi Colognesi brings
into sharp relief the deeply political nature of the role of Roman
juridical science as an expression of aristocratic politics and
discusses the imperial jurists' fundamental contribution to the
production of an outline theory of sovereignty and legality which
would constitute, together with Justinian's gathering of Roman
legal knowledge, the most substantial legacy of Rome.
