Soldiers, penalties, the meadows of Apamea and Cujas in Godefroy's Commentarius on C. Th. 7.7.3. This article, following Godefroy's Commentarius on C. Th. 7.7.3, focuses on two different aspects of the constitution, issued by Arcadius in 398 for the purpose of prohibiting soldiers from feeding their animals in the public meadows of Apamea and in th...
This essay focuses on the formal qualities of the imperial rescript to be produced in court in Late Antiquity. A constitution by Diocletian (C. 1.23.3) makes clear that the rescript to be filed in court has to be the “authentic and original” document itself and not a copy.

This article offers a detailed reading of the nineteenth paragraph (Du suicide) of Voltaire’s Commentaire sur le livre des délits et des peines, with specific emphasis on its references to Roman Law and Canon Law. Voltaire’s quote from an imperial rescript concerning the goods of a man who committed suicide (C. 9.50.1), as well as his mention of th...

Pomponius differs on this from our other sources (Livius, Dionysius, Diodorus Siculus) and his statement is here examined in detail, taking many critical essays (written chiefly from XVIth to XIXth centuries) into account. This research also makes cle...
This article deals with the peculiarities of Pomponius D. 1,2,2,4, as far as the legation to Athens is concerned, and with Accursius' gloss 'constitui' on D. 1,2,2,4. Accursius' text reports a quite bizarre story about a legation to Rome. This passage has been subjected to a deep critical examination, which emphasized the absurd and anachronistic c...
