Law and Order: RPU In the criminal justice system, plebian based offenses are considered especially heinous. In Rome, the dedicated detectives who investigate these vicious felonies are members of an elite squad known as the Romans Pleb Unit. These are their stories.
Funny, you would hear and use a word and not know that main origin. First time I learned and used the word pleb was play the first Caesar computer game. Essentially, it's Latin for peasant.
Great video! Thanks for making it. Question: after votes were placed in Rome's treasury, how did Roman citizens learn about the new law? Word of mouth? Was there some sort of centralized way to get the word out about new laws?
I adore Romans obsession with writing down and calculating everything. Also, I still wonder what would had happened if they "discovered" steam engines.
I mean, Hero of Alexandria had the notes for the Aeolipile, and he's from the Roman period. Justinian's architect Anthemius also made use of a primitive steam engine, though only for the purpose of intimidation. So its more if only it had caught on and actually been developed from an early stage rather than being a simple curiosity for bored scholars and nobles to play with. Of course, there are a lot of such what if moments in history, where something that to us seems 'the obvious choice' was simply, not done, for one reason or another. Often, probably with from their own perspective, entirely rational reasoning. Does that make them right, or us wrong, or the opposite? Not really. We just have different perspectives, and what seems obvious in hindsight isn't always so at the time.
@@palmerharrison7660 I know that Romans come build early prototypes of the steam engines, which why I am saying, it would've been interesting if they actually used it for building something, like steam cars or some such. It is quite strange, that Romans, who were notorious for their ability to innovate and adapt, missed such golden opportunity to become the most technologically advanced civilization on the planet. Of course, it is another case of "it will never catch on", but still. I wonder what world would have been like if they did? Would Roman Empire survived till modern day?
We have slander and libel laws today, the penalties are just much more lenient. And this was an era of history when blood feuds and Duels to the death were a thing.
@@mrspeigle1 And the plebs and the even lower classes handled disputes often outside of the law still. Was kind of a gangsters paradise... or misery depending on how rich and how much you could trust your thugs.
Look! When Italian extended families moved to America and began to reconnect with contacts who had also happened to transplant, the Mafia spontaneously generated as a result. Just saying...
@@SimonWoodburyForget Spoken like a true: "I don't know what the fuck I'm talking about". Laws are not inflexible and complex because they're as old as the roman empire. The Roman Law System is very different to both the common law and continental law systems. The reasons why Law are "inflexible", specially on the criminal side of law, are extremely more complex for reasons far more "contemporary" than you might think.
@Lazarus Zoolander Now it's called protesting and striking. Commies wouldn't allow striking, at least not the USSR or People Republic of China... like what is going on in Hong Kong right now. So nope. It's called fighting for your freedom and better living circumstances.
As an attorney, I cannot thank you enough for this. So many of our professional institutions and institutional habits - from contract law to (generally) being clean-shaven in court - were copped straight from Rome. It is an historically conservative, traditional profession, and so much of the road show started in the ancient city. ...and I think most lawyers still have a bit of a boner for Cicero.
Patrician One: Let's not cut the rabble in on our new government. They aren't well bred or important enough. Patrician Two: Yes, I totally agr- Patrician Three: Hey guys... Where are the Plebs going? Don't we need them to defend the city? Patrician One:... *Begins sweating*
@@OrangeCub14 yes I do, we still use it today, particularly law concerning property and delict. The presumption of innocence i.e. "innocent until proven guilty" is Roman law.
I actually studied roman law at university, it is easy to say that the actual civil law and many other aspects of the legal system are firmly based on roman laws and how they functioned although, yes, the actual legal system has evolved over time and is somewhat ajusted to the actual times.
Roman law started off by passing through two stages, the formation of civil law and the formation of the law of nations.

Rome maintained a very articulate list of laws and punishments for their infractions. This list accompanied Romans to outer territories during expansion. The enforcement of these laws and their punishments were well documented and recorded in Roman archives for future reference. Punishments were escalating from verbal rebuke to the most insidious, crucifixion. This being said, the level of the infraction determined the punishment administered to the offender. Minor theft, being perpetrated against a Roman citizen, could receive a first time verbal reprimand and ordered restitution. High crimes of gross theft, or murder of Roman citizens could result in being whipped, flailed, scourged or crucifixion. Scourging and crucifixion were a death sentence. Hardly anyone ever survived scourging, secondary to blood and body tissue loss, sepsis or shock. It should be noted here, a ordered punishment would not result in being scourged and then crucified. When any infraction of the law did not concern a Roman citizens or Roman property, the senior Roman administrators would refer the matters back to local authorities and sidestep getting involved for obvious reasons. Why be the bad guy for the benefit of the local tyrants to cast blame on. Make the locals deal with their own law breakers. Taking this entire situation into a more closer perspective Pilate, who hated the local Jewish population to begin with, would have NEVER allowed himself to be ensnared into becoming their bad guy. He would have popped that hot potato right back into their laps in a heartbeat and not got involved in a local law dispute. Allegedly, Jesus broke no Roman laws, did no injury to Roman citizens or property so therefore would not be punished under Roman law at any level. Now Barabbas, guilty of murdering Roman soldiers and civilians, gross theft and plunder of Roman property, would have been dead meat when he was captured and NEVER released in exchange for anybody. Barabbas would have been convicted and ordered to be crucified and pilate would have enjoyed wine and grapes while he observed from his field tent. The Romans were very strict and articulate with their legal matters and Roman administrators in the territories were no fools. They could be brutal when necessary but smart enough to never get involved when not their problem. Antiquities researchers should be more observant to the facts before getting mired, and blinded, by the fables.
My understanding is that the Jewish leaders claimed that Jesus claimed to be the Messiah,who would be King of the Jews. This directly rebelled against Roman rule. The Jewish leaders also created a very real threat of rebellion, and if Pilate couldn't keep order in Jude's, you can bet that the emperor would have appointed a new governor who could.
Velmex Zorro Almost as if the Founders drew a fair bit of inspiration from Republican Rome or something. Anyway, it’s not just the US. Rome is the foundation of the entire West.

And this "law & order", was it through the whole Roman era or was it just a part of a century? Because he doesn't specify what time period it occured and a lot of things happened during those 800 years..

One of the greatest aspects of the western world is how they detailed and wrote down their long and storied histories and culture. This is easily one of the greatest achievements of western civilization. Plus, it laid the foundation for the modern world that we all live in.
Wait so when augustus restored some of the Republican system does that mean he just gave a weak republican system some legit power (mainly as a rubber stamp I know but theoretically with his backing), or does it mean that those institutions where actually dead not even existing in form only and he brought them back ?

@1:10 Let me get this straight... the 'opinions' of various writers, ya scholars (?), are "distilled". So one can easily understand??? Dude, it's not supposed to be easy. As someone who has seen two profs in a single class be divided by rational thought and ideological fantasy (and kids PAY for this), how the FUCK would I think this was useful?

The areas in Western Europe invaded by the Nazis also experienced a period of peace and stability,does that excuse the brutal,murderous wars?Not to mention the genocidal war led against Carthage in which hundred of thousands were murdered.(The fortunate 50,000 were sold as slaves.)
Upholding ANY legal and/or political system is force and violence (of some sort). It is not unique to monarchies and empires. Republics and democracies (particularly stabile ones) ALSO rely on force and violence to maintain control.
ROME 3 : TOTAL LAW Painstakingly orate as Marcus Cicero against Catalinus Command several senators as you stab Gaius Julius Caesar Order online now and gain access to the Magistrate DLC where you play the role of Pontius Pilate at the trial of Jesus the Nazarene.
What do you need a gladius for, Romanfats? If your house gets robbed, just call the lictor's guild or use your scutum to fend off the attack. No Roman citizen actually needs a gladius. If push came to shove, what, are you and your untrained barbarian slaves going to defeat 10 legions by yourselves? What next, should you have the right to own a ballista? No Roman citizen should need anything more than a pugio to defend himself in his home. You're just overcompensating for your short stature and plebeian birth.
In the Roman justice system, the people are represented by two separate but equally important groups: The Tribunes, who represent the people, and the Senate, which makes the laws. These are their stories. DUN DUN
I heard of a practice that if a man murdered another man his punishment was to be lashed and chained to the body. You can see where this is going. As the body rots the gross disgusting infectious man was slowly killed himself by the victim he killed. Due justice for the crime. Idk if this was more biblical or Roman.
well just look at mediëval europe, I am a history student, and pretty unique is that we have history of western european law, given by a law and history doctor, I noticed that many professors have oposing standpoints, but this is a good thing since history is far from certain in the grey areas, what is written down is rarely all the truth behind it, many times laws were recited over and over again in certain places, which can only be explained for more marginal matters as them not being lived by completely, and if the majority doesn't care what can they do, arrest all of them, put them all on trial?, no better to remind them of the rules, but even so, common law never came from below, rather influence from common practices wil have been there, but the determining factor was that judges declared it as such, which defeats the idea of laws forming from below entirely
There used to be a wikipedia page with the most elegant Brocards. Now it has been littered by including way too many. But I used to read the old page and marvel at the fundamental legal principles described there, most of them inherited from Roman law, no doubt.
In the third video on The Courts, could you comment on the portrayal of the courts and justice seen in the Rome television show after Pullo is arrested and tried for murder?

No Roman citizen actually needs a gladius. If push came to shove, what, are you and your untrained barbarian slaves going to defeat 10 legions by yourselves?
What next, should you have the right to own a ballista? No Roman citizen should need anything more than a pugio to defend himself in his home. You're just overcompensating for your short stature and plebeian birth.
In the Roman justice system, the people are represented by two separate but equally important groups: The Tribunes, who represent the people, and the Senate, which makes the laws. These are their stories. DUN DUN
Lol
I heard of a practice that if a man murdered another man his punishment was to be lashed and chained to the body. You can see where this is going. As the body rots the gross disgusting infectious man was slowly killed himself by the victim he killed. Due justice for the crime. Idk if this was more biblical or Roman.
well just look at mediëval europe, I am a history student, and pretty unique is that we have history of western european law, given by a law and history doctor, I noticed that many professors have oposing standpoints, but this is a good thing since history is far from certain in the grey areas, what is written down is rarely all the truth behind it,
many times laws were recited over and over again in certain places, which can only be explained for more marginal matters as them not being lived by completely, and if the majority doesn't care what can they do, arrest all of them, put them all on trial?, no better to remind them of the rules, but even so,
common law never came from below, rather influence from common practices wil have been there, but the determining factor was that judges declared it as such, which defeats the idea of laws forming from below entirely
Guys do u know that 80%of law of great Romman Civilization was made by Syrian Rommans..Papinian and others..
Pueri mali, pueri mali,

Tip of the hat to you

So many books, so little time! And I seriously doubt your sponsor 'distills' the books I'm interested in.
There used to be a wikipedia page with the most elegant Brocards. Now it has been littered by including way too many. But I used to read the old page and marvel at the fundamental legal principles described there, most of them inherited from Roman law, no doubt.
In the third video on The Courts, could you comment on the portrayal of the courts and justice seen in the Rome television show after Pullo is arrested and tried for murder?
Over-complicated laws and competing introduction of laws between two houses...hmmm, sound like any modern country we know?
