The Legal Procedure of Cicero's Time is a comprehensive study of the legal system in ancient Rome during the time of the famous orator and statesman Cicero. Written by A. H. J. Greenidge, a renowned scholar of Roman law, the book covers various aspects of the legal procedure, including the role of judges, advocates, and witnesses, the methods of evidence gathering, and the process of trial and appeal. The author also delves into the social and political context of the Roman legal system, examining the influence of class, gender, and ethnicity on the administration of justice. Drawing on a wide range of primary sources, including Cicero's own speeches and letters, Greenidge provides a detailed and authoritative account of the workings of the Roman legal system, shedding light on its strengths and weaknesses, and its enduring legacy in the development of Western law. This book is an essential resource for anyone interested in the history of law, ancient Rome, or the life and work of Cicero.1901. Greenidge writes in the Preface that the leading design of this book is to furnish students of Cicero's writings with a clue to the chief legal difficulties which they will meet with in their reading. These difficulties are far more numerous in the sphere of procedure than in that of substantive law; and, as it was quite impossible to write a work of moderate compass which dealt with both branches of the subject, I have thought it better to confine my attention mainly to the former; although, as will easily be understood, it has proved impossible to deal thoroughly with the procedure of the period which I have treated, without touching on many questions of pure law; so intimately are these bound up with the forms in which they were presented to the courts. Partial Contents: Book I. Civil Procedure. Part I. The Courts of the Monarchy and Early Republic; Part II. The Courts of the Ciceronian Period; and Book II. Criminal Procedure.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
