Descrizione: This article has a broader and a narrower theme. The narrower theme is this: two of Cicero's private orations, the pro Tullio and the pro Caecina, concern violent confrontations in the countryside of Italy. Neither speech can be indisputably dated from internal evidence, but they have been traditionally assigned to 71 and 69 B.C. respectively. In recent years, however, legal historians have questioned both dates, as part of a more general inquiry into the development of the Edictal provisions on violence.1 In this article I both defend the traditional dating of the two speeches and describe the likeliest development of the major Edictal provisions on violence. More broadly, I hope to relate these two speeches, and particularly the pro Caecina, to the evolution of Roman private law and the Roman judicial system during the 70s and 60s B.C. [Author]
