This second edition of Tony Honore's controversial book analyzes
some 2,609 legal rulings (rescripts) given by Roman Emperors
between 193 and 305 AD, and argues that, though issued in the name
of emperors, they were really both in style and substance the work
of professional lawyers. From their style Honore is able to detect
when one lawyer-draftsman gave way to another, and to identify some
of the lawyers and allot most of the rescripts to the true author.
On this basis he argues that in the third century there was a
convention that the rights of citizens would be governed by
objective legal standards. The Roman Empire was not in fact a pure
autocracy. Extensively updated and edited, this edition includes on
a high-density diskette a reconstruction (Palingenesia) of the
2,609 rescripts. This new and original work of reference will
enable scholars to read the texts chronologically and to judge the
soundness of the arguments advanced.
