Aula Caesaris
Der Hof der römischen Kaiser von Augustus bis Commodus ist in systematischen Zusammenhängen zuletzt in den großen staatsrechtlichen und kulturgeschichtlichen Handbüchern des 19. Jahrhunderts behandelt worden, seitdem aber weitgehend unbeachtet geblieben. Die vorliegende Arbeit analysiert die forschungsgeschichtlichen Hintergründe dieser Sachlage und rekonstruiert, wie das "Haus" der römischen Kaiser seit der frühen Kaiserzeit eine Transformation erfuhr, die es zu einer neuartigen, von aristokratischen "Häusern" in grundlegenden Hinsichten unterschiedenen und schon von Zeitgenossen als "Hof" (aula) bezeichneten politisch-sozialen Größe machte. Untersucht werden die Entstehung der Paläste auf dem Palatin, die dort belegte materielle Kultur, die Ausdifferenzierung einer neuartigen höfischen Organisation und die soziale Interaktion des Kaisers mit seiner Umgebung.

Encyclopedic Dictionary of Roman Law
This Dictionary: explains technical Roman legal terms, translates & elucidate those Latin words which have a specific connotation when used in a juristic context or in connection with a legal institution or question, & provides a brief picture of Roman legal institutions & sources as a sort of an introduction to them. The objectives of the work, not the juristic character of available Latin writings, therefore, determined the inclusion or exclusion of any single word or phrase. This dict. is not intended to be a complete Latin-English dict. for all words which occur in the writings of the Roman jurists or in the various codifications of Roman law. The reader must consult a general Latin-English lexicon for ordinary words that have no specific meaning in law or juristic language. Reprinted 1980.
The Alexandrian Riots of 38 C.E. and the Persecution of the Jews
Scholars have read the Alexandrian riots of 38 CE according to intertwined dichotomies. The Alexandrian Jews fought to keep their citizenship - or to acquire it; they evaded the payment of the poll-tax - or prevented any attempts to impose it on them; they safeguarded their identity against the Greeks - or against the Egyptians. Avoiding that pattern and building on the historical reconstruction of the experience of the Alexandrian Jewish community under the Ptolemies, this work submits that the riots were the legal and political consequence of an imperial adjudication against the Jews. Most of the Jews lost their residence never to recover it again. The Roman emperor, the Roman prefect of Egypt and the Alexandrian citizenry - all shared responsibilities according to their respective and expected roles.
Thinking Like a Lawyer
This is a book about the law and life of Rome—in which contributors respond to John Crook's injunction to 'think like lawyers' by ranging as far as ancient Greece, ancient Persia and modern Denmark to expound their themes and draw comparisons. An opening section focuses on Civil Law, more or less as conventionally conceived, with chapters on the peculium, on municipal law at Irni in Roman Spain, on advisers of Roman provincial governors, and on violent crime. Roman perceptions of the physical and human worlds are the focus of a second section, and comparisons between Greek, Roman and modern ways of thinking about law and government come into the third section. In the final section, contributors argue the history of law and life from refractions of real and imagined Rome.
