MARC ANTONY

Member of the Triumvirate. Even though Rome had an Emperor, official positions were elected. Today we are worried because citizens bribe officials or “give” them campaign contributions, but in Rome, the reverse was the problem—namely that candidates for public office would bribe citizens or entertain them to garner their votes. As you can see from this law, this was strictly prohibited in the Roman Empire. In the year before the election a candidate could not even have a party for more than 9 people. This law was actually drafted by Julius Caesar. Antony later issued it.

Member of the Triumvirate. This is one of the first formal regulations regarding “Government Contracting.” It was actually drafted by Julius Caesar. Antony later issued it.

Member of the Triumvirate. This was the set of laws for the Roman colony in Urso, Spain. It is much like Roman law and it is very valuable because so much of it has been preserved whereas the laws of Rome itself comes to us in fragments and from secondary sources. There was no right of assembly in the dictatorial Roman Empire and a person needed approval even to stage a play. This law was actually drafted by Julius Caesar. Antony later issued it.

It is much like Roman law and it is very valuable because so much of it has been preserved whereas the laws of Rome itself comes to us in fragments and from secondary sources. This is one of the first formal regulations regarding staffs of officials. In this case it was for a duumvir. Even though Rome had an Emperor, these and other positions were elected. This was a type of mayor or magistrate that combined the Judicial and Executive functions of a city of community. There were always TWO duumvirs of equal rank. This assured that one was more likely to be available at any time, but the major reason was that they could acts as a check and balance on each other. Lictors were security guards. The soothsayer was supposed to be able to divine the future. Today, the modern role is often filled by economists. Summoners were like sheriffs or process servers. The flutists do not have a modern equivalent but their role was to preceed the mayor so that people would know he was coming. This law was actually drafted by Julius Caesar. Antony later issued it.
