Cicero's Law cover

This volume brings together an international team of scholars to debate Cicero's role in the narrative of Roman law in the late Republic – a role that has been minimised or overlooked in previous scholarship. This reflects current research that opens a larger and more complex debate about the nature of law and of the legal profession in the last century of the Roman Republic. Contributors: Benedikt Forschner • Catherine Steel • Christine Lehne-Gstreinthaler • Jan Willem Tellegen • Jennifer Hilder • Jill Harries • Matthijs Wibier • Michael C. Alexander • Olga Tellegen-Couperus • Philip Thomas • Saskia T. Roselaar • Yasmina Benferhat.

'A thoroughly enjoyable and thought-provoking book. It is always a pleasure to remake Cicero's acquaintance, and this book does not disappoint.' - Craig Anderson, Robert Gordon University, Edinburgh Law Review. 'The essays are very much on the mark set by the editor, and the quality is high. The book is for scholars, but advanced learning methodology or studying the history of Roman law scholarship will find the book useful too.' Ernest Metzger, University of Glasgow, Roman Legal Tradition.
