The topic that all of them involve, which is the episcopalis audientia, must attract a minimum of specific attention, and can perhaps be interpreted in a more ‘political’ sense: in the concessions that Constantine and the emperors after him had to make to the new religion, the episcopalis audientia attracted a practice of ‘judgment’ of the bishop that had been consolidating in the Christian community, which also became ‘opinion’ or, if you like, ‘testimony’, to be examined by the civil judge.","PeriodicalId":81592,"journal":{"name":"Ivra; rivista internazionale di diritto romano e antico","volume":"30 2","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-11-02","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"135933542","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
{"title":"Roman Declamation, Roman Law, and Ancient Legal Medicine: the Case of veneficium","authors":"Nephele Papakonstantinou","doi":"10.7358/rdr-2023-papa","DOIUrl":"https://doi.org/10.7358/rdr-2023-papa","url":null,"abstract":"Abstract This paper discusses the Roman legal treatment of poisoning, grounded on the lex Cornelia de sicariis et veneficis (81 BCE), through the lens of school forensic declamations (controversiae). Sections 1-4 set the context and address key methodological issues. Section 5, the core of the research, examines Pseudo-Quintilian’s Declamatio minor 350 Aqua frigida privigno data (Cold water given to stepson) – a fictitious legal case concerning a suspicious death caused by drinking cold water. It is argued that the medico-legal assumptions underlying this distinctly unique case are likely to have brought new content to the legal conceptualisation of the reckless administration of venena, and hence, to the juristic interpretation of the degree of criminal intent required in similar cases of suspected homicide. The overall objective is to provide new insights of multidisciplinary relevance into the intersections of Roman Imperial forensic rhetoric, Roman law, and Graeco-Roman medicine, by looking closer at the method of argument through which trials involving a charge of poisoning may have been conducted in actual court practice.","PeriodicalId":81592,"journal":{"name":"Ivra; rivista internazionale di diritto romano e antico","volume":"7 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-10-31","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"135930254","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
