In this exploration of the administration of law and its role in
the lives of ordinary people in the northern provinces of the Roman
Empire, Serena Connolly draws upon a rich but little-known legal
collection from the late 3rd century known as the Codex
Hermogenianus. The codex is composed of imperial responses to
petitions sent to Rome, written by a team of the emperor s legal
experts. These petitions and responses provide a wealth of
information about provincial legal administration and the lives of
the non-elite petitioners. The man who prostituted his wife, the
mother whose malicious son undersold her farm, and the slaves who
posed as free men to get a loan are just a few of the lives to
encounter. Lives behind the Laws makes a valuable contribution to
Roman social, political, and legal history."
