Quaderni Lupiensi di Storia e Diritto

description: ISSN 2240-2772 I Quaderni Lupiensi di Storia e Diritto nascono dall'attività delle Cattedre di Storia ed Istituzioni del diritto romano, di Diritto romano e di Fondamenti del diritto europeo attive presso il Dipartimento di Scienze Giuridiche dell'Università del Salento. Si tratta di una rivista a cadenza annuale, la cui pubblicazione cartacea è sin dal primo volume affidata alle Edizioni Grifo (Lecce). Le è attribuita la Fascia A sia per l’intera Area 12 (Scienze giuridiche) che per l’area 10/D1 (Storia antica). Direttrice responsabile dei Quaderni Lupiensi è la Prof. Francesca Lamberti, Ordinaria di Diritto romano e diritti dell'antichità presso l'Università del Salento. La rivista è dotata di un comitato scientifico di altissimo prestigio internazionale, si fonda su un sistema di revisione double blind dei lavori che vi vengono accolti (i referee non conoscono l’identità dell’Autore e all’Autore è sconosciuta l’identità dei referee cui è affidata la valutazione), e contempla la presenza di abstract e parole-chiave a corredo degli articoli stessi. La vocazione transnazionale e interdisciplinare della rivista è manifesta sia per via del livello internazionale degli studiosi che ne compongono la Direzione e il Comitato Editoriale, che per quanto attiene al profilo dei componenti il Comitato scientifico, sia - ovviamente – in considerazione della diversa provenienza internazionale di molti degli autori i cui lavori sono di volta in volta accolti nei Quaderni Lupiensi. Nell'impianto si è scelta una linea volutamente 'tradizionale', con una strutturazione in tre sezioni di massima ("Contributi", "Discussioni", "Resoconti"). In alcune annate compaiono anche altre sezioni, in connessione con esigenze particolari legate allo specifico volume e alla relativa annualità. La rivista nasce su iniziativa di docenti di diritto romano e diritti dell'antichità. Ciò nondimeno accoglie altresì lavori di storia antica (sia greca che romana) che riservino una peculiare attenzione a pr…

Parentalia e lemuria: quale rapporto?
type: item
description: En In the most ancient twelve-months Roman calendar, two festive cycles are attested that the living dedicated each year to the memory of the deceased: the Parentalia, celebrated in the month of February, and the Lemuria, celebrated in the month of May. Having established the simultaneos presence of these two official anniversaries, news of which has reached us trough Ovid's Fasti, this research aims to understand whether the relationship between the two celebrations can be configured in terms of duplication, opposition or complementarity. Fr Dans le plus ancien calendrier hebdomadaire romain de douze mois sont attestés deux cycles festifs que les vivants consacraient chaque année à la mémoire des défunts : les Parentalia, célébrées au mois de février, et les Lemuria, célébrées au mois de mai. Après avoir constaté la présence simultanée de ces deux événements à caractère officiel, dont les informations nous sont transmises principalement par les Fastes d'Ovide, la recherche vise à comprendre si le rapport entre eux est configurable en termes de duplication, d'opposition ou de complémentarité.

Chi parla a chi. Continuare a vivere nella voce dei passanti: esempi dalla Regio I
type: item
description: En This paper investigates the communicative and memorial functions of Latin funerary inscriptions, focusing on examples from Regio I. Addressed to passersby -viatores, hospites, praetereuntes- these epitaphs created a symbolic dialogue between the living and the dead, inviting readers to stop, read aloud, and thus revive the memory of the deceased. Through formulas, acrostics, affectionate dedications, and even curses, funerary monuments became instruments of self-representation, revealing social values, familial ties, and religious beliefs. Writing served both a civic and sacred purpose, preserving the individual's dignitas while constructing a shared collective memory. The analysis highlights how these texts contributed to shaping communal identity and expressing accepted social norms within Roman society. Despite scholarly attention to such "speaking inscriptions," a comprehensive and systematic collection capable of elucidating their legal and social significance is still lacking. Es El artículo examina las funciones comunicativas y conmemorativas de las inscripciones funerarias latinas, especialmente aquellas procedentes de la Regio I. Dirigidas a los transeúntes -viatores, hospites, praetereuntes-, estas inscripciones establecían un diálogo simbólico entre vivos y muertos, invitando al lector a detenerse, leer y pronunciar en voz alta el nombre del difunto, reactivando su memoria. A través de fórmulas lingüísticas, acrósticos, dedicatorias afectivas o maldiciones, los monumentos funerarios se convertían en medios de representación personal y reflejaban valores sociales, vínculos familiares y creencias religiosas. La escritura cumplía una función cívica y religiosa al mismo tiempo, destinada a conservar la dignitas individual y a construir una memoria colectiva compartida. El análisis demuestra que estos textos contribuyeron a definir la identidad comunitaria y los modelos de conducta social reconocidos por la sociedad romana. A pesar de su interés académico, …

Familia funesta
type: item
description: En Starting from the reading of the Festus lemma everriator (Fest. s.v. Everriator [Lindsay 68]), the role of the heres extraneus in carrying out the funeral rites of the deceased will be observed. In light of the officium pietatis incumbent upon the heres institutus independently of the acceptance of the inheritance, the argumentum adduced by Gai. 3 de verborum obligationibus D. 45.3.28.4 to justify the capacity of the servus hereditarius to acquire the credit from stipulatio in favor of the heres futurus will be analyzed. Fr En partant de la lecture du lemme festin everriator (Fest. s.v. Everriator [Lindsay 68]), on observera le rôle de l'heres extraneus dans l'accomplissement des funérailles du défunt. À la lumière de l'officium pietatis incombant à l'heres institutus indépendamment de l'acceptation de l'héritage, on analysera l'argumentum invoqué par Gai. 3 de verborum obligationibus D. 45.3.28.4 pour justifier la capacité du servus hereditarius d'acquérir le crédit par stipulatio en faveur de l'heres futurus.

La mors immatura. Tra l'arcaica disciplina del lutto e le leggi matrimoniali augustee
type: item
description: En The essay aims to underline the importance of early childhood (i.e. children under one year of age and up to three years of age) in the context of the regulation of mourning and the advantages that Augustan marriage law provided for couples in their mutual succession. This centrality is particularly evident in Tit. Ulp. 16.1a. Es El estudio tiene como objetivo resaltar la relevancia de la primera infancia (niños menores de un año y hasta tres años) en lo que respecta a la normativa sobre el duelo y las ventajas que, según la legislación matrimonial augustea, se derivaban de este para la pareja en su sucesión recíproca. Esta relevancia se subraya notablemente en Tit. Ulp. 16.1a.

Agostino d'Ippona e la prassi dei refrigeria
type: item
description: En The term refrigerium, derived in turn from the verb refrigerare in the meaning of to refresh, give relief, quietude, rest, indicates the funerary banquet that sources document as being in use from the 4th to the 7th century AD, consisting of the consumption of a meal near the tombs of the deceased, as well as in libation, that is, the offering of food and drink to the deceased themselves. This is, in truth, a ritual already practiced in pagan religion which then flowed into Christianity. In particular, when faced with this rite, the action of Catholic bishops was divided, at first, between tolerance and consent, only to then result in the repression of abuses and unruly conduct. From the sources - conciliar canons, patristic sources, and especially Augustinian writings - emerges the plague of alcoholism, precisely on the occasion of funerary banquets, which often degenerated into drunkenness and debauchery. Fr Le terme refrigerium, dérivant à son tour du verbe refrigerare dans le sens de rafraîchir, donner soulagement, quiétude, repos, désigne le banquet funèbre que les sources documentent comme étant en usage du IVe au VIIe siècle apr. J.-C., et consistant en la consommation d'un repas près des tombes des défunts, ainsi qu'en la libation, c'est-à-dire l'offrande de nourriture et de boissons aux défunts eux-mêmes. Il s'agit, en vérité, d'un rituel déjà pratiqué dans la religion païenne puis reflué dans celle chrétienne. En particulier, se trouvant face à ce rite, l'action des évêques catholiques se divisera, d'abord, entre la tolérance et le consentement, pour déboucher ensuite sur la répression des abus et des conduites déréglées. Des sources - canons conciliaires, sources patristiques, et surtout les écrits augustiniens - émerge le fléau de l'alcoolisme, précisément à l'occasion des banquets funèbres, qui dégénéraient souvent en beuveries et débauches.

Il postumo e la Lex Cornelia nel libro quarto delle epistole di Giavoleno
type: item
description: En The Cornelia law in the Republican era established the fiction that the civis who died in enemy territory was considered as if they had not lost their freedom and therefore, their will, made in homeland, would have had fully validity. However the problems tackled by Javolen in the fourth book of his epistles, concern the applications of this law by incorporating the assumption of the existence of a posthumous. Es La ley Cornelia de edad republicana había establecido la ficción que el ciudadano muerto en territorio enemigo fuera considerado como se hubiera muerto cuando se encontraba en libertad, es decir, en patria, antes de la captura. Javoleno presenta algunos problemas de aplicación de la presente ley considerando como presupuesto la procreación de un hijo postumo.

Profili retorici in Plin. Epist. 8.18 (sul testamento di Domizio Tullo)
type: item
description: En In Epistle 8.18, Pliny recounts the will of Domitius Tullus, who was adopted together with his brother, Domitius Lucanus, by the famous orator Gnaeus Domitius Afer. The letter's structure effectively uses a variety of rhetorical devices, including pathos, which is prepared by surprise and fuelled by the description of positive feelings and behaviour, contrasting with sordid plots; irony, verging on sarcasm and the grotesque (which heighten the pathos); and antithesis, which follow one another in rapid succession and intertwine, evoking the technique of contradiction, or antilogía. The exposition is therefore lively and passionate, in accordance with Quintilian's principles (Inst. or. 12.9.3). Even the portraits of the characters are not ends in themselves but also represent rhetorical examples: those we need to learn how to live, as Pliny writes at the end of his speech (ad rationem vitae exemplis erudimur). Es En la Epístola 8.18, Plinio relata el testamento de Domicio Tulo, adoptado junto con su hermano, Domicio Lucano, por el célebre orador Cneo Domicio Afro. La elaboración de la carta evidencia una notable destreza en la utilización de múltiples recursos retóricos, tales como el pathos, generado por la sorpresa y nutrido mediante la exposición de emociones y conductas virtuosas en contraposición a narrativas lúgubres; la ironía, que abarca desde el sarcasmo hasta lo grotesco, incrementando el pathos; y la antítesis, que se desarrollan en un ritmo acelerado y se entrelazan de manera intrincada, evocando la técnica de la contradicción o antilogía. La exposición se presenta de manera vivaz y concisa, ajustándose a los preceptos establecidos por Quintiliano (Inst. or. 12.9.3). Asimismo, los retratos de los personajes no se presentan como un objetivo en sí mismos, sino que también desempeñan un papel retórico al servir como ejemplos ilustres que nos permiten adquirir sabiduría vital, como lo expresa Plinio al concluir su discurso (ad rationem vitae exemplis erudim…

Prime osservazioni intorno al commentario ad legem Iuliam et Papiam di Ulpio Marcello
type: item
description: De Die Untersuchung zielt darauf ab, einen ersten palingenetischen Rahmen der sechs im Digesten erhaltenen Fragmente des Kommentars ad legem Iuliam et Papiam von Ulpius Marcellus zu liefern, zu dem es bis heute keine spezifischen Beiträge in der Literatur gibt. Nachdem versucht wurde, das Werk zu datieren und Hypothesen über die Struktur und die Redaktionstechnik desselben formuliert wurden, wird man sich auf jene Texte konzentrieren, die das Thema der Erbunfähigkeit direkt oder indirekt behandeln, welches in der Tat zentral innerhalb des von den römischen Juristen als 'lex Iulia et Papia' bezeichneten normativen Corpus ist. Aus dieser Sicht erweisen sich als besonders bedeutsam ein Fragment aus dem ersten Buch, wo eine Präferenz für die väterliche Erblinie bei der Devolution der caduca erkennbar zu sein scheint, und eines aus dem dritten Buch in Sachen Scheidung. Fr L'intervention vise à fournir un premier cadre palingénésique des six fragments conservés dans le Digeste du commentaire ad legem Iuliam et Papiam d'Ulpien Marcellus, sur lequel il n'existe à ce jour aucune contribution spécifique dans la littérature. Après avoir tenté de dater l'oeuvre et formulé des hypothèses autour de la structure et de la technique de rédaction de celle-ci, on se concentrera sur les textes qui abordent directement ou indirectement le thème, en vérité central au sein du corpus normatif dénommé par les juristes romains 'lex Iulia et Papia', de l'incapacité à succéder. De ce point de vue s'avèrent particulièrement significatifs un fragment du premier livre, où il semble possible de déceler une préférence pour la ligne successorale paternelle dans la dévolution des caduca, et un fragment du troisième livre en matière de divorce.

Morti inquieti e riti atipici: l'archeologia può documentare la paura?
type: item
description: En Inflictions, prone burial positions, post-mortem mutilations, ligatures: the archaeology of funerary landscapes increasingly and accurately documents the material evidence of rituals and prophylactic treatments performed on the deceased. The aim of these treatments was perhaps to render the deceased harmless, prevent their 'return' and avert the risk of dangerous forms of contact between the living and the dead. Reflection on the post-mortem projections of the individual, or rather on social life after death (cf. Adriano Favole), is thus enriched by the contribution that contemporary archaeology of traces can provide, in a necessary and intense dialogue with written sources, physical anthropology, cultural anthropology, and the history of law and institutions. Fr Inflictions, positions funéraires couchées, mutilations post mortem, ligatures: l'archéologie des paysages funéraires documente de manière toujours plus précise les preuves matérielles des rituels et des traitements prophylactiques pratiqués sur les défunts. L'objectif de ces traitements était peut-être de rendre les défunts inoffensifs, d'empêcher leur «retour» et d'éviter le risque de contacts dangereux entre les vivants et les morts. La réflexion sur les projections post mortem de l'individu, ou plutôt sur la vie sociale après la mort (cf. Adriano Favole), s'enrichit ainsi de la contribution que peut apporter l'archéologie contemporaine des traces, dans un dialogue nécessaire et intense avec les sources écrites, l'anthropologie physique, l'anthropologie culturelle et l'histoire du droit et des institutions.

The Garden Rules: Gärten in den römischen Rechtsquellen zwischen Muße und Macht
type: item
description: En Modern scholarship on Roman law tends to treating the topic of gardens as being a wallflower, picked up along the way when discussing legal issues concerning the colonization of land or neighbourship relations, such as the delimitation of land boundaries or servitudes. However, the Roman jurists explicitly mention gardens also in other contexts, namely on the field of testamentary dispositions. Gathering these sources not only allows for a different perception of the different forms of Roman gardens, but also gives testimony of the division of power between the various land owners and other persons having a mere right of use in the land. Departing from the legal sources, the paper presents the bouquet of the Roman garden between leisure and power. It Nella dottrina sul diritto romano, il tema dei giardini gioca un ruolo marginale, trattato spesso soltanto en passant quando si affrontano questioni relative alle basi storiche della colonizzazione della terra o del rapporto di vicinato, come le questioni legali riguardanti la delimitazione dei confini o le servitù. Tuttavia, i giuristi romani parlano esplicitamente di giardini anche in altri contesti, in particolare nel campo del diritto delle disposizioni testamentarie. L'insieme di queste fonti permette non solo di avere una diversa visione delle varie realtà dei giardini romani, ma testimonia anche la divisione del potere tra i vari proprietari di terra ed altre persone avente un mero diritto d'uso. Con questo, l'articolo presenta l'immagine del giardino romano tra ozio e potere come dipinto nelle fonti legali.

Infrastrutture idrauliche nella provincia d'Asia: provvedimenti romani e amministrazione indiretta
type: item
description: En This paper examines selected Early Imperial epigraphic sources from the province of Asia that record provisions issued by emperors (e.g. I.Ephesos II, 401; V, 1523–1524; I.Sardis I.10; II, 416; I.Aphrodisias2007, 11.412) and proconsuls (e.g. I.Eph. III, 695; I.Eph. II, 415–416; VII.1, 3217A–B; I.Kibyra 19) concerning the management of aqueducts. These inscriptions provide a valuable vantage point for investigating the relationship between provincial cities and both imperial and proconsular administration during the Principate. Analysis of the epigraphic evidence reveals significant differences linked to distinct civic statuses, closely corresponding to recent scholarly reconstructions of the dynamics of indirect rule characteristic of the eastern provinces. Special attention will be devoted to contrasting proconsular provisions regarding civitates liberae with those regarding civitates stipendiariae. The paper will also explore the extent to which proconsular regulations reflect the legal frameworks established for the city of Rome, as defined by leges publicae and senatusconsulta, highlighting a precise reception of central normative models within the provincial context. This process of reception calls for closer historical-legal analysis and explanation. Fr La contribution examine un ensemble de sources épigraphiques du Haut-Empire provenant de la province d'Asie, qui attestent des dispositions émanant tant des empereurs (par ex. I.Ephesos II, 401; V, 1523–1524; I.Sardis I.10; II, 416; I.Aphrodisias2007, 11.412) que des proconsuls (par ex. I.Eph. III, 695; I.Eph. II, 415–416; VII.1, 3217A–B I.Kibyra19) relatives à la gestion des aqueducs. Ces inscriptions constituent un observatoire privilégié pour analyser les relations entre les cités provinciales et l'administration impériale et proconsulaire à l'époque du Principat. L'analyse de la documentation épigraphique met en évidence des différences significatives liées aux divers statuts civiques, en étroite corresp…

A proposito delle recenti tendenze della manualistica di diritto privato romano
type: item
description: En This article aims to examine recent research trends in Roman private law studies by analyzing the recently published Handbuch des Römischen Privatrechts (Tübingen: Mohr Siebeck, 2023), edited by Ulrike Babusiaux, Christian Baldus, Wolfgang Ernst, Franz-Stefan Meissel, Johannes Platschek and Thomas Rüfner. The article's main objective is to examine the structure and methods employed in this 3,700-page, two-volume handbook (plus indexes), which seeks to provide an overview of the entire field of Roman private law from a primarily procedural perspective. The first part of the Handbuch des Römischen Privatrechts, however, deals with the fundamentals and institutes of private law from the point of view of substantive law, while the second part is properly devoted to litigation and the various actiones known to the Romans. Eventually, this contribution evaluates the role played by this handbook nowadays and in the future of Roman law studies, comparing it to the one played by Max Kaser's two seminal volumes on Roman private law and Roman private law procedure. In doing so, it recognizes that the Handbuch des Römischen Privatrechts would become an essential reference point for Roman law scholars for years to come. De Dieser Aufsatz hat zum Ziel, aktuelle Forschungstendenzen in den Studien zum römischen Privatrecht zu untersuchen, indem das kürzlich veröffentlichte Handbuch des Römischen Privatrechts (Tübingen: Mohr Siebeck, 2023), herausgegeben von Ulrike Babusiaux, Christian Baldus, Wolfgang Ernst, Franz-Stefan Meissel, Johannes Platschek und Thomas Rüfner, analysiert wird.

Partus sequitur ventrem: nota minima su Grimm, Savigny e l'antichità di una regola
type: item
description: En The paper aims to trace a path that, through an examination of Jakob Grimm's biography, works, unpublished notes, and correspondence, allows the reader to pinpoint the moment at which Grimm encountered the phrase partus sequitur ventrem, which he cites in his 1815 essay Von der Poesie im Recht as an example of an ancient legal rule. Situating this choice within the broader framework of the Romantic conception of law championed by Grimm helps to illuminate what might otherwise appear to be a chronological inconsistency. De Der Beitrag versucht, anhand einer Untersuchung von Jakob Grimms Biographie, Werken, unveröffentlichten Notizen und Korrespondenz den Zeitpunkt zu bestimmen, zu dem Grimm erstmals auf die Wendung partus sequitur ventrem stieß, die er in seinem Aufsatz Von der Poesie im Recht (1815) als Beispiel aus dem «altlateinischen Gerichtswesen» #anführt. Die Einordnung dieser Wahl in den weiteren Rahmen der von Grimm vertretenen romantischen Rechtsauffassung trägt dazu bei, einen Sachverhalt zu erhellen, der andernfalls als chronologische Inkonsistenz erscheinen könnte.

Der Testator des stadtrömischen Testaments in CIL. VI 10229: ein Senator konsularen Ranges – kein libertus
type: item
description: En Since a fragmentary inheritance document was published by Mommsen in CIL VI 10229 with a lengthy commentary, it has been clear to everyone that the testator had senatorial, probably even consular rank. Initially, it was assumed that his name was Dasumius Hadrianus, but today it is widely believed that he is identical with Domitius Tullus, mentioned by Pliny the Younger. However, in 2005, Joshua C. Tate claimed: "We must remain open to the possibility that the testator was not only an Ignotus, but an Ignotus libertus." This claim lacks any knowledge of Roman social reality. The author cannot explain why so many high-ranking persons appear as recipients of legacies in the will, including Emperor Trajan himself, Sosius Senecio, consul iterum, and Iulius Ursus Servianus, also consul iterum at the time, whom the testator addresses very familiarly as Servianus meus. In all its aspects, the entire will fits only a testator who belonged to the senatorial, consular elite of Rome. It Da quando Mommsen pubblicò un testamento conservato solo in forma frammentaria in CIL VI 10229 con un lungo commento, fu chiaro a tutti che il testatore aveva il rango di senatore, probabilmente addirittura quello di consolare. Inizialmente si pensava che il suo nome fosse Dasumius Hadrianus, mentre oggi si suppone che fosse identico a Domitius Tullus, menzionato da Plinio il Giovane. Tuttavia, nel 2005 Joshua C. Tate ha affermato: "dobbiamo rimanere aperti alla possibilità che il testatore non fosse solo un Ignotus, ma un Ignotus libertus". Questa affermazione denota una totale mancanza di conoscenza della realtà sociale romana. L'autore non è in grado di spiegare perché nel testamento compaiano come beneficiari di legati così tante personalità di alto rango, tra cui lo stesso imperatore Traiano, Sosius Senecio, consul iterum, e Iulius Ursus Servianus, anch'egli all'epoca consul iterum, che il testatore chiama con grande familiarità Servianus meus. Il testamento nel suo complesso, in tutti i …

Il mancato diritto al pagamento della prostituta: echi romanistici nella giurisprudenza italiana
type: item
description: En This article addresses the denial of a prostitute's right to remuneration as a form of 'discrimination within discrimination', by comparing contemporary Italian law with Roman law. After outlining the abolitionist framework introduced by Law no. 75 of 1958 and the traditional view that considers agreements between prostitutes and clients void for reasons of public morality, the analysis highlights the discriminatory effects resulting from the refusal to recognise any enforceable claim to payment. Particular attention is paid to a 7 May 2014 decision of the Rome District Court, which prompted a reassessment of Ulp. 26 ad ed. D. 12.5.4.3. Read in the light of interpolational criticism and of the Basilica, this source suggests that in Roman law the infamis status of the meretrix did not preclude her entitlement to remuneration. On this basis, the article argues for a reconsideration of the prevailing interpretation of positive law, with a view to strengthening the protection afforded to the weaker party to the relationship. De Der Beitrag behandelt die Versagung des Rechts der Prostituierten auf Vergütung als eine Form der „Diskriminierung innerhalb der Diskriminierung" im Wege eines Vergleichs zwischen der zeitgenössischen italienischen Rechtsordnung und dem römischen Recht. Nach der Darstellung des durch das Gesetz Nr. 75 von 1958 eingeführten abolitionistischen Ansatzes sowie der traditionellen Auffassung, wonach Vereinbarungen zwischen Prostituierter und Kunde wegen Verstoßes gegen die guten Sitten nichtig sind, hebt die Analyse die diskriminierenden Auswirkungen hervor, die sich aus der Verweigerung der Anerkennung eines einklagbaren Anspruchs auf Zahlung ergeben. Besonderes Augenmerk gilt der Entscheidung des Tribunale di Roma vom 7. Mai 2014, die Anlass zu einer Neubewertung von Ulp. 26 ad ed. D. 12.5.4.3 gegeben hat. Im Lichte der interpolationskritischen Forschung und der Basiliken gelesen, legt diese Quelle nahe, dass im römischen Recht der infamis Status …

Fr À travers une analyse du titre 47.7 du Digeste, cet article retrace la réflexion des juristes romains sur la signification du terme arbor et sur les espèces végétales qui entraient dans la définition de l'arbre (en particulier la vigne, mais aussi le lierre, le saule et les roseaux) et bénéficiaient des protections juridiques qui en découlaient.

Testimonianze di interventi sillani nel Liber coloniarum primus
type: item
description: En The so-called Liber coloniarum primus is an important source of information about Lucius Cornelius Sulla's egemony (82-79 BCE): the Liber records agrarian and military activities implemented by Sulla after the civil war in ten ancient towns placed in Latium and Campania (Aricia, Bovillae, Calatia, Capitulum, Capua, Castrimoenium, Gabii, Nola, Suessula, Tusculum). This paper discusses this information and tries to single out the towns that were involved in Sullan agrarian reforms (leges Corneliae) and the ones whose territory was simply exploited by Sullan soldiers through occupatio. Fr Le texte appelé Liber coloniarum primus est une importante source d'informations sur l'hégémonie de Lucius Cornelius Sulla (82-79 av. J.-C.): le Liber en effet mentionne activités agraires et militaires mises en oeuvre par Sulla après la guerre civile dans dix cités antiques situées en Latium et Campania (Aricia, Bovillae, Calatia, Capitulum, Capua, Castrimoenium, Gabii, Nola, Suessula, Tusculum). Cet article examine ces données et essaye d'identifier les lieux concernés par les réformes agraires de Sulla (leges Corneliae) et les territoires simplement exploités par les soldats de Sulla sous forme de occupatio.

I libri XXXII-XXXIV ad edictum di Giulio Paolo: note interpretative preliminari
type: item
description: En This contribution presents the initial outcomes of a broader investigation into Books XXXII-XXXIV ad edictum by the jurist Iulius Paulus. The textual structure of these books reveals a compositional logic that markedly departs from that adopted by Ulpian in the corresponding books, privileging instead a range of sources primarily rooted in the tradition of the ius civile. Such divergence suggests a deliberate methodological stance, underscoring Paulus' distinct engagement with civil law materials. Fr Cette contribution présente les premiers résultats d'une enquête plus large sur les Livres XXXII-XXXIV ad edictum par le juriste Iulius Paulus. La structure textuelle de ces livres révèle une logique compositionnelle qui s'écarte nettement de celle adoptée par Ulpian dans les livres correspondants, privilégiant au contraire un éventail de sources principalement enracinées dans la tradition du ius civile. Une telle divergence suggère une position méthodologique délibérée, soulignant l'engagement distinct de Paulus avec les matériaux de droit civil.

Halbwachs, Betti e Superga
type: item
description: En This paper aims to analyze the first instance judgment of the Superga case (1950) and the related commentary of Emilio Betti, employing as hermeneutic paradigm the theory of collective memory developed by Maurice Halbwachs. Through an analogical transposition operation, it is postulated that the legal tradition operates according to methods structurally similar to the dominant historiography, maintaining a substantial primacy with respect to normative innovations. The investigation highlights how, despite the provisions of Art. 2043 of the Italian Civil Code introducing a broad concept of unjust damages, both the Court of Turin and Emilio Betti perpetuated a restrictive interpretation of lex Aquilia's liability, anchored in the protection of absolute rights only. Particularly significant is the hermeneutic removal of the second caput of the lex Aquilia – which emerged from Gaius Veronese and attests to the original protection of credit rights – from contemporary legal reflection. The research demonstrates how the legal tradition is configured as an autonomous and prevalent formant, capable of neutralizing both the voluntas legislators and the outcomes of scientific Roman research, confirming the crisis of the dialogue between Roman law and the positive order in modern Italy. Es La presente contribución se propone analizar la sentencia de primera instancia del caso Superga (1950) y el correspondiente comentario de Emilio Betti, utilizando como paradigma hermenéutico la teoría de la memoria colectiva elaborada por Maurice Halbwachs. Mediante una operación de transposición analógica, se postula que la tradición jurídica opere según modalidades estructuralmente afines a la historiografía dominante, conservando una primacía sustancial respecto a las innovaciones normativas. La encuesta muestra que, a pesar de lo dictado por el art. 2043 c.c. ital. introdujera una noción amplia de daño injusto, tanto el Tribunal de Turín como Emilio Betti han perpetuado una interpretac…
