Author: Lintott, Andrew W.
Title: Cicero on praetors who failed to abide by their edicts
Review/Collection: "Classical Quarterly", XXVII
Year edition: 1977
Pages: 184-186
Keywords: Droit - Diritto - Law
Description: Cicero, after a discussion of the value of Cornelius' bill about privilegia, is clearly here dealing with the bill, ‘ut praetores ex edictis suis perpetuis ius dicerent’ (cf. Asconius, 59 C). The pluperfect subjunctives suggest that he is arguing that notorious unjust judgements of previous years would not have happened, if Cornelius' bill had been then in force.
