Extra informatie:- Jean Gaudemet (1908-2001) presents here an exploration of Roman public law through a series of essays that trace the evolution of governance in Rome. The book opens with an analysis of "Le peuple et le gouvernement de la République romaine", detailing how Roman institutions balanced popular sovereignty with oligarchic control, notably through magistracies and senatorial influence. "La révolution romaine" examines the destabilizing conflicts of the late Republic, culminating in the collapse of traditional republican structures and the rise of personal power. Gaudemet then transitions to "Le concept d'empire", exploring the ideological and legal justifications for imperial rule, followed by "Le régime impérial", which outlines the constitutional façade of the Principate and the centralization of authority in the emperor. In "Réflexions sur l'Empire de Rome", he interrogates the nature of imperial power, its legitimacy, and continuity. The chapter "À propos dun héritage romain des monarchies hellénistiques" contrasts Roman governance with Hellenistic monarchies, noting both divergence and influence. The essays on "les amici principis" (the emperors advisors) and "les mutations politiques et géographie administrative" under Diocletian and later emperors analyze the bureaucratic expansion and structural shifts that shaped the late Empire. Overall, Gaudemet highlights Romes legal-political adaptability across centuries.
