When an Athenian citizen died leaving no male offspring, and he had not adopted a son who could marry the daughter, the daughter became epikleros and her hand was given to her nearest surviving male relative.
The Ulpianic life table is mentioned in an enigmatic fragment of the Digest ( Dig . 35.2.68 pr.; Macer (third century CE ) 2 ad leg. vic her . = Paling. 1.571) excerpted from the third‐century commentary of Aemilius Macer on the lex Iulia de vicessima hereditatum (which was enacted under Augustus in the first century CE , around year 6).
The presence of the mother in some marriage contracts in Hellenistic and Roman Egypt raises the question of whether her presence implies that she has recovered a role that she had played in historical periods prior to the formation of the polis or whether, on the contrary, it is a characteristic of this period and, if the latter, the point is whether it is a revival of an ancient Greek institution, or rather an influence of local law. It is also possible that the disappearance of the regulations of the polis in the Greek emigration led women to develop their activities with greater freedom and that the presence of the mother in marriage contracts simply reflected her new role in Hellenistic society, regardless of whether there was a historical precedent for doing so.
The Lex coloniae Genetivae Iuliae seu Ursonensis (CIL II Suppl. 5439 = ILS 6007; CIL II 2 594; C. G. Bruns, Fontes 7 , n. 28 = S. Riccobono, Leges [FIRA I 2 ], n. 21 = D'Ors 1953 n. 7; Eph . Ep . II 105–151.0221–232; Eph . Ep . III 87–112 cf. Eph . Ep . VIII 527; Eph . Ep . IX 83–91) is a Flavian copy of the Caesarian founding law of the colony at Urso, today Osuna (Seville), on display at the Archaeological Museum in Madrid.
The place of oratory in Roman law has been approached from two not totally unrelated points of view: its place in Roman litigation; and the possible influence of rhetoric in general on Roman jurisprudence and its methodology.
