Cicero’s Law: Rethinking Roman Law of the Late Republic

Paul J Paul J Du Plessis

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.
