Abstract

Abstract:The distinction between manifest and non-manifest delicts, and the differentiated regime of punishment attached to it, is attested in all ancient legal systems. And yet, already in antiquity, it assumed the status of a mystery: why punish more severely, only because the criminal had been caught in flagrante? This article examines the extant evidence on the flagrant delict through the prism of a cross-cultural legal rite of ligation and in close conjunction with conceptions of judicial vision, secrecy, and crime to suggest that the distinction is expressive of the legal power of sight: the crime seen to be done is worse.
