There was technically no right of appeal from the Senate to the Princeps3 ; but the Princeps could exercise what was practically a power of pardon by vetoing the decisions of the Senate in virtue of his Tribunicia Potestas. There was a Plebs within the Populus; and this Plebs possessed a solidarity which gave it the means of lifting up its voice in a demand, not for power, but for the protection of legal rights, and for the knowledge which was essential to that protection. [1 ]This thesis has been vigorously maintained by Lambert in his work La fonction du droit civil comparé (1903). Some of these were means by which his control over the magistrates and the Senate was increased. ii. 6; Inst. This recognition was accorded because their services were required as soldiers in the legions and as tax-payers. 44: ‘De jurisdictione idem (Ofilius) edictum praetoris primus diligenter composuit.’. l c.; cf Cic. [1 ]It is a curious fact that Gaios (Γάιος) is found as the name of an Asiatic (Gaios, son of Hermaeus, one of the σύντροϕοι of Mithridates Eupator, King of Pontus. The guidance of legislation and judicature by an individual will was a necessary outcome of the new order of things; and it is possible that this guidance was needed. Finally, almost the whole sphere of the criminal law was embraced by a series of enactments which created standing courts (Quaestiones Perpetuae, or Judicia Publica), each for the trial of a special offence or a group of related crimes. In 79 he was curule aedile with his brother, in 77 praetor, in 73 consul with Gaius Cassius Varus. p. 50. Had he lived to carry out this scheme, it is probable that Ofilius would have been entrusted with the work. [2 ]Pompon in Dig. But the expansion came with the edict, and with the creative jurisprudence which was a product of the new Greek culture and the extension of the Roman Empire. Scholars know very little of his personal life. . But the disabilities consequent on this racial distinction, if we suppose it to have existed, were by no means limited to the domain of public rights. Both, as we shall see, were supplemented by new creations; but up to the time of Gaius it was possible to appeal to the Republican system as the one that underlay the legal life and the judicial organization of Rome3 . 43. Here the wrong done is regarded as inflicted, not merely on the individual injured, but through him on the State. 1. Had it been intended to have the latter character, both some of its omissions and some of its inclusions would be wholly unjustifiable. The King, too, must have given the ruling in law which determined what form of action should be employed2 . In the first place, the Patricians maintained that they alone formed Gentes, and the condition of being a member of a Gens, or Gentilis, was that the man who made the claim should be able to point to a perfectly free ancestry2 . [1 ]The document is to be found in the Corpus Inscriptionum Latinarum, vi. The Jus Gentium could not pass from being a mere fact to being an ideal without gaining some theoretical justification for its existence and acceptance. We are told that the influence of skilled lawyers was for a very long time represented by the College of Pontifices. See Mommsen, Staatsr. 7). Loans on interest were permitted; but the maximum rate of interest was fixed at ‘unciarium foenus’4 (probably ten per cent. § 177 contains no notice of a constitution of his, recorded by Ulpian, that bears on the matter in question. Some common ground had to be discovered as the basis for a common court, which might adjudicate on the claims of Private International Law. p. 76). 3; Pompon. What Is The Difference Between “It’s” And “Its”? Fourth edition, revised and enlarged by E.A. Lastly, the most typical and important utterance of the Tables is to be found in the injunction that ‘the last command of the People should be final10 .’ It is an utterance which shows how little the Decemvirs regarded their own work as final, how little they were affected by the Greek idea of the unalterability of a Code, of a Code forming a perpetual background of a Constitution—in fact, by the idea of a fixed or written Constitution at all. [2 ]On the characteristics of the study of law during this period see Kruger, Geschichte der Quellen und Litteratur des römischen Rechts, pp. with an historical introduction by A.H.J. As a result, his legacy suffered - but was Marius a hero or a villain? [2 ]‘Melior condicio nostra per servos fieri potest, deterior fieri non potest’ (Gaius in Dig. The voting power of the classes differed considerably. ius fl. 12 27; 13 28. Based on the Random House Unabridged Dictionary, © Random House, Inc. 2020, Collins English Dictionary - Complete & Unabridged 2012 Digital Edition The last trace of legislation belongs to the reign of Nerva (96-98 a. d.)2 . cit. No precise date can be assigned for the change; but it has been thought not to be earlier than 241 b. c., the year in which the number of the tribes was raised to thirty-five2 . These characteristics seem to prove that the Gens is not a really primitive institution, but a late and advanced stage in the social development of the Latin races; but, on the other hand, they may show that it was in many respects a more primitive unit than the State; that is, that it exercised rights and duties which were ultimately exercised by the State. n. 930, and in Bruns, Fontes Juris Romani Antiqui, v. 19. He may have treated these edicts separately; but the three may have been combined in a single comprehensive work which was spoken of as ‘The Edict2 .’. It is possibly derived from Latin gaudere "to rejoice", though it may be of unknown Etruscan origin. This practice led eventually to systematic teaching; disciples attached themselves to a particular exponent of law, who gave some a preliminary training and directed others in a course of study that was more advanced9 . [3 ]Such a delegate might be given by the consuls when exercising extraordinary jurisdiction (Gell. 48 foll. Effective protection was in any case impossible until a fuller light had been thrown on the question what the rights to be protected actually were. The trained jurist still plays a leading part in legal progress. [2 ]It is possible that the common elements in the provincial edicts were reduced to a system at this time. xii. The procedure by which the legal claims of aliens were asserted must have been more fully elaborated. He was bound by the decision5 ; but naturally only on the assumption that the facts as stated in the petition which elicited the Rescript were the facts as exhibited in the course of the trial6 It may have been understood that the opinion of only one patented counsellor was to be sought in any single case; for in the early Principate there seems to have been no provision determining the conduct of a Judex when the opinions of his advisers differed. It was thus that Aristo dealt with Labeo, and Pomponius with Sabinus. p. 31); but our authorities (Diod. 2. He thinks that the Twelve Tables, as a code, originated with Sextus Aelius Paetus, consul in 198 b. c., whom tradition regards as their earliest commentator, although he admits that there may have been successive partial compilations before this date. At the close of the history of the Republic there could be shown, in contradistinction to the great secular code of the Twelve Tables, a collection of religious ordinances, believed to be even more ancient than this code, and known as the Laws of the Kings (Leges Regiae)3 . Cf. To cook in water that begins cold and then reaches a boil. [1 ]We know, at least, that some of Sulla’s legislation was effected through the Comitia Centuriata (Cic pro Dom. In the later Republican period it was probably quite the most active of the legislative assemblies of the whole people. A division of power of this type is perhaps common to all monarchies. It adapted law to provincial needs by expanding, but not impairing, its national character. The seventy centuries of each class voted in turn; the decision of each century was determined by the majority of the votes of its individual members; and the majority of the centuries determined the decision of the assembly. The meaning of Caius is "Rejoice". B.C.L., 4 ‘Teneret antiqua munia senatus, consulum tribunalibus Italia et publicae provinciae adsisterent’). Some development of this kind may account for the fact that Gaius and Ulpian both speak of the Princeps receiving his Imperium through a Lex1 . The rest of the edict which took a definite shape, covered the procedure which the governor promised to apply for the recovery of certain rights by individuals—rights such as those entailed in inheritance or the seizure of a debtor’s goods. It may have been the more important aspect; for the teaching of the schools, and the advice of jurisconsults, no doubt did much to stimulate and guide the activity of the magistrates. [1 ]Compare Ridgeway, The early age of Greece, p. 257. proem. Of the life of Gaius we know little. All that was added by the Principate was in the nature of an excrescence—one that was probably healthy in its effects, in spite of the fact that it does seem to have limited to a certain extent the creative activities of juristic thought. [2 ]Lex de Imp. de Or. It was impeded by the Patria Potestas—the life-long power of the father over the son. § 126, and the Institutions were probably published before his death, for 2. 43, Dionys. In criminal matters the Princeps does not seem to have had the power of altering the decisions of the Quaestiones Perpetuae; but he could probably order a new trial2 . Thus the edicts might take cognizance of cases not provided for by the civil law at all, they might replace the mechanism provided by the civil law for attaining a legal end, and they might alter the character of the end itself. The immediate product, however, of the Lex Naturae is the Jus Naturale. 1 ‘Cum Romae a consulibus judex extra ordinem datus pronuntiare . Cf. in Dig. [1 ]Pomponius in the Digest (1. 6. 50 148; [Cic.] The author of De Praenominibus ("Concerning Praenomina") states that Gaius is derived from the same root as gaudere, "to rejoice". We cannot, it is true, point to a time when no Plebeian could conclude a contract, or bring an action, unless, like a client, he acted through a patron. 1. xiii. The office of Praetor is said to have originated as a result of the Licinian laws of 367 b. c.2 This new magistrate was created for the purpose of performing most of the judicial business of the Consuls, who, on account of the increasing complexity of political life, were found incapable of conducting the whole of the home and foreign affairs of Rome. ii, p. 439). His later contemporary, Acilius, seems also to have been a legal commentator3 . [1 ]This was done by the fiction of In integrum restitutio. In fact, one of the most surprising features of the Royal Laws is their lack of significance for the ordinary current of Roman life, as it was lived in the historical period. A modification in the structure of the Comitia Centuriata was subsequently effected, which had the result of giving a more equal distribution of votes. One folio belonging to the Fourth Book (§ 136-§ 144), having been detached by some accident from its fellows, had been published by Maffei in his Historia Teologica,a.d. The obligation to service is generally enforced by a fine imposed by the magistrate. Meanings Biblical Names Meaning: In Biblical Names the meaning of the name Gaius is: Lord; an earthly man. there are three inscriptions on the parchment. For an edict in any way comparable to those of the Praetors we must turn to the provinces. Definition of Gaius in the Definitions.net dictionary. The Comitia Curiata, the oldest of all the Roman assemblies, whose structure was based on the ancient Curiae or Parishes of Rome, ceased in the historical period to be a true legislative assembly. The assumption probably was that the publication of the Code should render the Tribunate unnecessary; and this it might have done, had the patrician government lived up to its promises. Liberty Fund, Inc. All rights reserved. vel edicto praecepit, legem esse constat. This name is mostly being used as a boys name. In criminal matters, two high courts of voluntary and extraordinary jurisdiction were created—that of the Princeps and that of the Senate. 6. 17. 26 ἡ δὲ γραϕεɩ̂σα νομοθεσία, βραχέως καὶ ἀπερίττως συγκειμένη, διέμεινε θαυμαζομένη μέχρι τω̂ν καθ’ ἡμα̂ς καιρω̂ν. But the traditions connected with the publication at Rome, even of the simplest information about Procedure, are exceedingly obscure. The weight of aristocratic influence may be still more fully realized if we remember that the corps of Roman Knights (centuriae equitum equo publico) formed eighteen centuries in this assembly, and that the mass of citizens whose property fell below the minimum census were grouped in a single century. i. Even those Leges or Plebiscita that dealt with civil procedure, perhaps did little more than ratify a change that had been already accomplished in the courts, or carry this change a few steps further. [3 ]Suet. in Cornelian. 3. The chief powers with which the Princeps was invested were the Proconsulare Imperium conferred by the Senate, and the Tribunicia Potestas conferred on a recommendation of the Senate in a formal meeting of the People. If the fine imposed exceeded a certain limit, an appeal to the People was allowed1 ; and, later still, the penalty might be sought either by a magistrate or a common informer before a civil court1 . . 38. Poste, M.A. They rapidly drew the conclusion that what was common to various countries existed by nature (ϕύσει), what was peculiar to a country existed by convention (νόμῳ); and the κοινὸς νόμος1 or τὸ ϕυσικὸν δίκαιον2 of the Greeks is practically identical with the Jus Gentium of the Romans. 21. 26) uses the expression ‘Jam sublato edicto divi Augusti,’ a phrase which suggests something more than mere neglect. 48-50) says ‘Massurius Sabinus (of the time of Tiberius) in equestri ordine fuit et publice primus respondit’; but he also adds: ‘Primus divus Augustus, ut major juris auctoritas haberetur, constituit, ut ex auctoritate ejus responderent’ To make the statements square with one another, Mommsen would strike out the words ‘fuit et’ in the first paragraph, as being the addition of an interpolator. This was a mere provisional arrangement initiated by the Senate for the benefit of the provincials1 . 33. Describe 2020 In Just One Word? It is obvious that, where much was granted by Charter, little was left to the discretion of the governor. If we ask what was the great motive power which lay behind this development of law through interpretation by the magistrate, we shall find it to consist, partly in contact with foreign peoples; partly (although probably in a less degree) in the new educational influences which were moulding the lives of the Roman nobles. 1. Lucius (L.) — common. The Proconsulare Imperium was technically valid only outside the limits of Italy; but, as it was absolutely necessary that the Princeps should possess Imperium within Rome, he was specially exempted from losing his Imperium by his presence within the city. In each a President (Quaesitor), who was generally a Praetor, sat with a bench of Judices who pronounced a penalty fixed by the law which had constituted the court. H. N xxxiii 1. 28). 2. 13. l. c.; Plin. The third class of occasions on which the State intervenes to correct a wrong or to chasten an individual, is that governed by the rules of Administrative Law2 . pro Domo, 13 35; Gaius, i. The Jus Gentium tended, therefore, to be identified with the Jus Naturale; and the identification seems to be complete except in one important point. Juristic investigation was grappling with present problems and did not care to concern itself with the antique The Tables had been explained; now they were to be expanded. in Dig. 18 centuries, chosen from the richer classes (Dionys. It was through these replies, which were given sometimes in private, sometimes in the Forum5 , that the jurisconsults became great oral and literary teachers. The date is not quite certain. But it has been thought that Dio Cassius (lii 20, 21) implies their existence in his own time, at the beginning of the third century a. d. [5 ]Gaius, iv. 56. Gaius’s Commentary on the Provincial Edict is the only work of the kind known to us. jussus essem’). Gaius Papirius Carbo, (died 119 bc ), Roman politician who supported the agrarian reforms of Tiberius Sempronius Gracchus but later deserted the Gracchan party. Roman praenomen, or given name, which is of Etruscan origin, meaning unknown. The Institutes of Roman Law is Gaius’ best known work which became the authoritative legal text during the late Roman Empire. The progress effected during this period in the theory of law was accompanied by a great reform in procedure. . p. 26. The extent to which it had broken down in the time of Gaius is unknown. viii. The Comitia Centuriata was an assembly that had grown out of the army-organization of the whole Roman people. And Gaius said that he for his part would give the marriage supper. The name Gaius is a Latin Baby Names baby name. — from Etruscan Mamerce. The process of a thorough imperial unification by means of a common system of Roman Private Law had begun. dato . The existence of a Monarchy such as that described for us by annalists like Livy and Dionysius, implies the existence of a consolidated State, with a central legislative and executive power and a tolerably uniform system of law. p xxxiii. Mommsen allows the 70 votes for the 70 centuries of the first class, but thinks that the 280 centuries of the other classes were combined so as to form only 100 votes. i. But the belief of the Romans themselves was that, in the very earliest stages of their recorded or imagined history, the primitive epoch of complete subservience to religious forms, if it ever existed, had been already passed, and that even in the time of the Kings something approaching a clear line could be drawn between the functions of Religious Law (Fas) and those of Secular Law (Jus). A Macedonian, who accompanied Paul in his travels, and whose life was in danger at Ephesus, Acts 19:29. The censor enrolled individuals in tribes at his pleasure; usually he entered a man in the tribe to which his father had belonged; but he might, if he willed, transfer him from one tribe to another (tribu movere). There is considerable divergence of opinion as to the method in which the centuries were distributed over the tribes; but, according to the more usually accepted view which has been held by scholars from the seventeenth century onwards3 , the five classes were distributed over all the tribes in such a manner that there were two centuries of each class—one century of seniores and one of juniores—in a single tribe. The legal consequence of contact with foreign races is summed up in the phrase Jus Gentium. . It is not likely that he belonged to the class of patented jurisconsults; for his opinions are not quoted by the subsequent jurists whose fragments are preserved in the Digest; it has even been inferred that he was not a practising lawyer; for amidst his voluminous writings there is no trace of any work on Quaestiones. You may have read the word "simmer" in a recipe or two, but what does it really mean? It is an utterance that expresses the belief that law is essentially a matter of growth, and prepares us for the fact that Rome saw no further scheme of successful codification until nearly a thousand years had passed. C. M. Kerr [4 ]Strachan-Davidson, starting from the view that Plebiscita were originally sent as petitions to the consuls and senate (cf. But this expectation is disappointed, so far as the progress of the Jus Privatum is concerned. [4 ]Nero at the beginning of his reign in 54 a. d professed a desire to restore the original principle (Tac. Name Gaius : Meaning, origin, etymology and all informations about first name Gaius - Roman praenomen, or given name, which is of Etruscan origin, meaning unknown [1 ]Cicero thus sketches the contents of the whole edict which he published as governor of Cilicia (ad Att. 95-124. Gaius was a celebrated Roman jurist. 19 ‘Primus edictum quod varie inconditeque a praetoribus promebatur in ordinem composuit.’ Eutrop. The rights of the Princeps enumerated in this document are of a very heterogeneous kind—they include the powers of making treaties, extending the pomerium of the city, commending candidates for office, and issuing edicts as interpretations of law, human and divine; and, important as they are, they have no direct connexion with either the Proconsulare Imperium or the Tribunicia Potestas. 50. A comparison of the former compilation with the latter code, in regard to their respective influences, exhibits more effectively than any other evidence could do the triumph of secular over religious law even in the early period of the Republic. Gaius Mucius earned the name ‘Scaevola’ when he lost his right hand to Lars Porsena's fire in a show of intimidating will power. [6 ]Cic. 17. The State, therefore, will not depend on the initiative of the injured individual to undertake the prosecution. This traditional date is comprised in the years 451-448 b.c., years which the Romans believed to mark the creation of the Decemviral Commission and the publication of the Law of the Twelve Tables. See Mommsen, Staatsr. Whether the Gaius in question is known to each sub-group, it will be obvious to the group of which he was a member which Gaius had gone to Corinth, and it will be obvious to each of the others that Paul is conveying the greetings of a Roman Gaius now in Corinth, whether they know this Gaius personally or not. a Roman jurist of the 2nd century, … Amongst subjects included in this sketch, which have little direct bearing on the history of Roman Law, I may mention the descriptions of the structure of the different Comitia at Rome and the account of the manner in which the powers of the Princeps were conferred. As tribune in 131, Carbo carried a measure that extended voting by ballot to the enactment and repeal of laws. This law ultimately gave the most perfect expression hitherto witnessed by the world of rights which were both universal and individual. 23; Cic. The Princeps might take any case, but often limited his intervention to crimes committed by imperial servants or by officers of the army. In this capacity it was gathered under the presidency of the Pontifex Maximus for the inauguration of the Rex Sacrorum and the Flamines, and for the Detestatio Sacrorum—the renunciation of preexisting religious obligations which was made by a man who passed from his Gens, either by an act of Adrogatio or by transition from the patrician to the plebeian order1 . It possessed no independent rights of its own. 1. 392-397). i. ii, p. 878. But a rough estimate may be made of five distinct kinds of prerogative and of the activities flowing from each. He was a beloved general, influential military reformer, and a massively successful politician; but later in his career, he tarnished his once sterling reputation. Cic. The Royal Laws, in fact, contain a series of ordinances, dealing with social, moral and religious life, such as may have been issued over a long period of time by the College of Pontiffs. As regards the sources of law, even the utterances of the People were for some time elicited. It is also the penalty on the judex who has taken bribes, and for treason (Perduellio) in the form of ‘rousing an enemy against the State or handing over a citizen to the enemy4 .’. 7) recognizes senatusconsulta as a source of jus. The favourite assertion of modern writers, that the Plebeians were a class which had emerged from a condition of clientship to the Patricians, does very little to solve the problem of the origin of the former class, except in so far as it suggests that some of the Plebeians were inhabitants of conquered cities that had been deported to Rome, and that others were voluntary sojourners from distant cities who were protected by the government and the patrician clans. 2. The Rescript was the most powerful instrument of law-making wielded by the Princeps. Again no State, however self-centred, could dream of undertaking such an enterprise as a written system of law without glancing at similar work which had already been accomplished by neighbouring cities. But it is probable that in early times he had a very limited capacity for controlling land; that he held the ground, which he worked for himself, merely on sufferance (Precario), and not in virtue of his civic right (ex Jure Quiritium)1 . [3 ]Laelius Felix ap. From the way in which it is mentioned by Justinian, we may infer that for 350 years the élite of the youth of Rome were initiated in the mysteries of jurisprudence by the manual of Gaius, much as English law students have for many years commenced their labours under the auspices of Blackstone. At first the science was imparted with an air of mystery; the advice was occasional and elicited only by special request. The legal unity of the Empire was always more strongly marked in the matter of Procedure than in the matter of Substantive Law. Mommsen (Staatsrecht, iii, p. 270) conjecturally assigns the change to the censorship of C Flaminius (220 b. c). Someone who is awesome enough, to be loved by Australians and Canadians. It is generally believed that originally only holders of land were registered as members of a tribe5 ; but there is no sufficient evidence for this view, and it seems safer to conclude that, while every holder of land was registered in the tribe in which his allotment lay, every landless man was registered in the tribe in which he had his domicile. Again, the same man might pass from one province to another, and, much as the circumstances of the separate spheres of government differed from one another, it is inconceivable that he should not have carried some of his favourite rules of procedure with him. The Proconsulare Imperium and the Tribunicia Potestas required to be supplemented by a number of separate powers conferred by special grants. The rewards of the profession were purely honorary; the only payment was repute, gratitude, or political support; and the practical utility of the jurists was as much valued as their theoretical knowledge. (3) Two of the Principes, Claudius and Vespasian, were invested with the temporary office of censor, and Domitian declared himself censor for life. Dixi me de eo genere mea decreta ad edicta urbana accommodaturum.’. We cannot say in what form the alternative was presented. There was no sphere of human interest outside their control; their power of utterance was limited only by a respect for religious law7 . But there was another reason why a knowledge of the Tables, in their original form, was becoming decadent even during the period of the later Republic. The first of these who taught the science publicly is said to have been Tiberius Coruncanius1 (circa 280 b. c.), who was also the first plebeian Pontifex Maximus. See Krüger, op. The jurisdiction of the Senate was especially concerned with offences committed by members of the upper ranks of society, or with crimes of a definitely political character. 30; Gell. Mamercus (Mam.) For the future the progress of law was to depend on the two processes of legislation and interpretation. Cf. As Paul wrote this epistle from Corinth, it is probable that this Gaius is identical with (5). In this point, therefore, the two are in conflict, and the Jus Naturale presents an even higher ideal of society than the Jus Gentium. i. [1 ]This procedure is illustrated by the Lex Bantina (Bruns, Fontes, iii. If the Roman had no liking to submit to the intricacies of the law of some other state, the foreign trader had equally little inclination to conform to the tedious formalities of Roman law. The Praetor’s edict still continued to be issued; nor are we told that the edictal power was in any way infringed during the early Principate. [5 ]Gaius, i. [3 ]Yet it is to be observed that Gaius, in his statement of the sources of law (i. But when a second Praetor was appointed to frame a special edict for Peregrini, the Jus Gentium must have found a still more complete and systematic expression. 49. § 24, 25, would hardly have been penned after the Sc. of Antiq. de Leg. Recently, Stowers, S. . Around 157 BCE, Marius was born to a plebeian family in an Italian settlement called Ceraete, near Arpinum. § 47 and 2. 55; Festus, p. 318; Bouché-Leclercq, Les pontifes de l’ancienne Rome, p. 196.

Then, by the Valerio-Horatian and Publilian laws (449 and 339 b. c.) it gained the right of considering and initiating proposals which affected the interests of the whole community; this right being probably acquired and exercised by the creation of increasing facilities for bringing resolutions of the Plebs as petitions to the assemblies of the people, to be confirmed or rejected by the latter4 .
