Contenu
This seminar course will focus on Roman law and order, and on those who broke the law or challenged Roman hegemony. A series of case studies will cover some of the well-known villains of Roman history, as well as those who perpetrated private crimes. We will study Rome’s response to threats to public order, how the city of Rome was policed, and which elements of Roman society were most likely to become victims of crime. Readings will include ancient sources in translation (legal, literary, and epigraphical texts) as well as modern scholarship.
