Reconstructing and Investigating the First Roman Imperial Legislation: From Augustus to Nerva (RIFRIL)
Scientific-Disciplinary Group
10/STAN-01 - Greek And Roman History
Description
The earliest legislative texts collected in the Roman Codices date back to the time of Hadrian. A project for a palingenesis of all the imperial constitutions issued from Augustus to Justinian (Palingenesia Codicis), conceived in the 1920s and led by Bonfante and then by Riccobono (the founder of the Palermo School of Roman Law), was abandoned in the 1940s after producing only a few preparatory works. The three-year RIFRIL project aims to resume the first part of tha older project to shed more light on a crucial period of the Roman Empire. Under the direction of the PI, an interdisciplinary team of experts in reconstructing ancient legal texts will investigate legal, literary, epigraphic, papyrological, and numismatic sources to collect all the evidence relating to the constitutions issued by the emperors of the Julio-Claudian and Flavian dynasties and by Nerva.
