For hundreds of years, the Roman people produced laws in popular
assemblies attended by tens of thousands of voters to publicly
forge resolutions to issues that might otherwise have been
unmanageable. Callie Williamson's book, The Law of the Roman
People, finds that the key to Rome's survival and growth during the
most formative period of empire, roughly 350 to 44 B.C.E., lies in
its hitherto enigmatic public lawmaking assemblies which helped
extend Roman influence and control. Williamson bases her rigorous
and innovative work on the entire body of surviving laws preserved
in ancient reports of proposed and enacted legislation from these
public assemblies.
