Callie Williamson's book, The Law of the Roman People, finds that the key to Rome's survival and growth during the most formative period of empire, roughly 350 to 44 B.C.E., lies in its hitherto enigmatic public lawmaking assemblies which helped extend Roman influence and control. Williamson bases her rigorous and innovative work on the entire body of surviving laws preserved in ancient reports of proposed and enacted legislation from these public assemblies.ACLS Humanities E-Book.Public law (Roman law)RomePolitics and governmentPublic law (Roman law)342.45/632Williamson Callie309415Michigan Publishing (University of Michigan),MiUMiUBOOK9910966654903321The laws of the Roman people2070068UNINA
