- Title
ARBITRARIEDAD Y ADMINISTRACIÓN DE JUSTICIA EN LAS RES GESTAE DE AMIANO MARCELINO.
- Authors
CARRASCO SERRANO, Gregorio
- Abstract
Ammianus Marcellinus' work as conserved (books XIV-XXXI) which covers the time period comprised between 353 and 378 AD, doubtlessly constitutes a major testimony for the analysis of late Roman society. Thus, Ammianus' work does not only evidence the aggravation of the situation at the borders or economic oppression, but it also reveals aspects of great interest relating to the administration of justice. In this regard, corruption and excesses in judicial proceedings are revealed through Ammianus' testimony whose work represents a real complaint against the method of the justice of his era.
