Perduellio a sacrilegium v době římské republiky

The submitted article concerns itself with two criminal offences – perduellio and sacrilegium – in the time of the Roman Republic whilst it attempts to identify their mutual relationship leading to an intense interconnection in the period of Justinian codification. The article uses a wide range of both domestic and foreign secondary sources as well as primary sources. The first two chapters of this work focus on a thorough introduction of the two offences by analysing several contemporary cases. Furthermore, it proceeds to the actual analysis of the interrelation of the offences, using a variety of Roman law sources, such as Lex Duodecim Tabularum, Livy’s History or The Digest of Justinian and The Institutes of Justinian.
