About The Book:
Roman Criminal Law and Penal Policy offers a detailed and insightful exploration of Roman penal policy, analyzing six high-profile criminal cases from the Roman era. Ranging from the Bacchanalian trials in 186 BC to trials for treason and magic in the fourth century, the book delves into how Romans approached crime, punishment, and legal principles.
Using Roman literary and legal sources, O.F. Robinson examines both Roman criminal legislation (including that codified by Justinian) and Roman philosophical attitudes toward punishment. The book explores the purposes of punishment—such as deterrence, retribution, reform, and public protection—and tracks how these purposes evolved over time.
In addition to discussing the nature of Roman criminal penalties, the author evaluates the debate between fixed versus flexible penalties and how the application of punishment changed. This scholarly work is essential for specialists, students, and researchers interested in Roman history, legal systems, and the societal values reflected in Roman attitudes toward crime and punishment.
