Going to court in Ancient Rome - What was it like?
Рет қаралды 272,799
4 жыл бұрынWhat happened when someone committed a crime in ancient Rome? In this video we continue our series on Law & Order by looking at the history of the roman court system. This involves tracing its evolution of the course of the Monarchy, Republic, and Empire. As we do so, you will see the emergence of many aspects of Roman justice like judges, lawyers, juries, and more which will seem very familiar to us today. Stay tuned for more history on Roman Law & Order.

It wasnt that easy to make the Dominus liable for the actions of their slaves. They only had to pay for the actions of their slaves if they gave a specific amount of their possessions to the slaves for them to use. This money could be Used for damages. If this wasnt enough, it was Tradition to give the misbehaving slave to the other Dominus and he could decide to punish or kill the other slave.

Many great conquerors had a great reform to their laws codified. Napoleon. Justinian. I think Caesar probably did something, or would've done more if only not for a Cassius, so all he got was a lousy Calendar. But overtime, laws eventually become bloated as old laws ("no driving a carriage over 10mph") become irrelevant and sometimes dangerous and the law system does not fulfill its original purpose anymore. While the court of popular opinion may be swayed by charismatic strongmen, at least some element of its original purpose may be retained.

Spain for example has a legal system inherited and almost identical to Imperial Rome and it is anything but efficient: cases can be put to sleep for years, decades even if the judge thinks it's politically perilous to close the trial, but even regular matters may take years to resolve. There's nothing "effcient" in the Imperial judicial system (and of course abuse of power is absolutely the norm, rather than the exception).
