  1. On the liberties of the ancients: licentiousness, equal rights, and the rule of law.Dan Edelstein & Benjamin Straumann - 2023 - History of European Ideas 49 (6):1037-1060.
    In this article, we discuss Greek and Roman conceptions of liberty. The supposedly ‘neo-Roman’ view of liberty as non-domination is really derived from negative Greek models, we argue, while Roman authors devised an alternative understanding of liberty that rested on the equality of legal rights. In this ‘paleo-Roman’ model, as long as the law was the same for all, you were free; whether or not you participated in making the law was not a constitutive feature of liberty. In essence, this (...)

  • On the interpretation of Cicero, De Republica.Andrew R. Dyck - 1998 - Classical Quarterly 48 (02):564-.
    Apropos congregatio Zetzel remarks ‘the metaphor is qualified by quasi…, as it more properly refers to animals rather than men’. It seems doubtful, however, that in general the -grego compounds were at this date felt as vividly metaphorical: segrego is used of human beings as early as Plautus and Terence ; aggrego is commonly so used by Cicero . Moreover, our passage is the first attestation of congregatio. Cicero uses the word three times in De Finibus , of which the (...)

  • Laws in Cicero’s Ideal State.Arina Bragova - 2010 - Schole 4 (1).
    Formulating the juridical component of his ideal state in the dialogue De legibus Cicero combines Greek legal theory and Roman state activity. He sees the law as a supreme ratio inherent in the nature, which allows people to do what ought to be done and to refrain from the opposite. It is justice that can be found at the core of law, but – justice available to every citizen, not exclusively to the rulers, since only this sort of law guarantees (...)
