Publisher's Synopsis

Infamia Its Place in Roman Public and Private Law is a scholarly book written by A. H. J. Greenidge that explores the concept of infamia in ancient Roman law. The book delves into the legal and social implications of infamia, which was a form of legal disability that could be imposed on individuals who engaged in certain types of behavior deemed socially unacceptable. Greenidge examines the various ways in which infamia was used in both public and private law, and how it affected the lives of those who were subject to it. The book also explores the relationship between infamia and other legal concepts in Roman law, such as the ius honorarium and the lex Cornelia de sicariis et veneficis. Overall, Infamia Its Place in Roman Public and Private Law is a comprehensive study of an important aspect of ancient Roman law that sheds light on the social and legal norms of the time.1894.
