    If you want to see the Roman court system in action, here is an awesome scene from the HBO show Rome that does a good job recreating it: ruclips.net/video/I_9Hgg-AKTc/видео.html

    I always remember reading a book of Roman court transcripts. The one that always makes me smile was an argument of two neighbours, one of whom had built an extension of his house a couple of feet inside the other's property. It was just hilarious that even 2,000 years ago people argued about the same petty little sh# we do today.

      To be fair I'd be more than a little miffed at someone building on MY property without my consent. Still though it's nice to see these long dead people as more than distant, inhuman historical factoids but as living people or people who lived, loved, fought, cried and had dreams of their own even so long ago. This series really helps to bring a fresh new perspective on history, bringing it to life and see how universal (though not without important nuances) the human experience has been through out time.

      It wasnt that easy to make the Dominus liable for the actions of their slaves. They only had to pay for the actions of their slaves if they gave a specific amount of their possessions to the slaves for them to use. This money could be Used for damages. If this wasnt enough, it was Tradition to give the misbehaving slave to the other Dominus and he could decide to punish or kill the other slave.

    Quite an impressive and generally accurate restatement of the Roman legacy. It lived on most directly in the Canon law afterwards and the modern civil law.

    4:13 - 4:18 Is that a quote? Were can I find it or if it's not, information about the Court cases that this was used for?
    Also there's no captions on, was it _Marcus Aemilius Scaurus_ or _Marcus Aurelius Scaurus_ ?
    Because I can barely find anything about the first one.

    Many great conquerors had a great reform to their laws codified. Napoleon. Justinian. I think Caesar probably did something, or would've done more if only not for a Cassius, so all he got was a lousy Calendar. But overtime, laws eventually become bloated as old laws ("no driving a carriage over 10mph") become irrelevant and sometimes dangerous and the law system does not fulfill its original purpose anymore. While the court of popular opinion may be swayed by charismatic strongmen, at least some element of its original purpose may be retained.

    Spain for example has a legal system inherited and almost identical to Imperial Rome and it is anything but efficient: cases can be put to sleep for years, decades even if the judge thinks it's politically perilous to close the trial, but even regular matters may take years to resolve. There's nothing "effcient" in the Imperial judicial system (and of course abuse of power is absolutely the norm, rather than the exception).

      This makes me wonder if there was any way for the alleged spellcasters to dispell their enchantments or break the curses laid by them on their victims' crops or property, like as a punishment for their crimes.
      *Tribune:* Alright sorceress, we'll let you go IF you lift the vile spell you placed on Maximus' field, sounds good right?
      *Sorceress:* A-And what if I don't..?
      *Tribune:* Then we crucify you.
      *Sorceress:* ... **gets to work on dispelling her enchantment**
      Or something like that in this hypothetical scenario...plus a possible fine as well. (to pay for grief caused and crop losses)
