Statute and Judge in Roman Criminal Law

This article is essentially an abbreviated version of a detailed investigation published in 4 Bulletino del Instituto di Diritto Romano "Vittorio Scialoja", 57-166 (1938, Milan) under the title: Gesetz und Richter im kaiserlichen Strafrecht. That paper may be consulted for source material and references. I wish to express my sincerest thanks to the John Simon Guggenheim Memorial Foundation which by the grant of a fellowship has enabled me to undertake this research.
