Summoned to the Roman Courts is the first work by Detlef Liebs, an
internationally recognized expert on ancient Roman law, to be made
available in English. Originally presented as a series of popular
lectures, this book brings to life a thousand years of Roman
history through sixteen studies of famous court cases - from the
legendary trial of Horatius for the killing of his sister, to the
trial of Jesus Christ, to that of the Christian leader Priscillian
for heresy. Drawing on a wide variety of ancient sources, the
author not only paints a vivid picture of ancient Roman society,
but also illuminates how ancient legal practices still profoundly
affect how the law is implemented today.
