Law and order in ancient Rome
Often, the Roman wars are remembered without due consideration for the subsequent Roman peace. This oversight hampers a proper understanding of history, as the majority of people lived their lives removed from the forefront of civilization. It is important to recognize that the stability of the Roman Empire was its greatest achievement. However, it is crucial to explore how law and order were established in the ancient world. Who investigated crimes when someone was found dead? How were cases adjudicated and justice dispensed? Answering these questions is not only academically intriguing but also provides practical insights into our own systems of justice, which can sometimes be taken for granted without historical context. Failing to safeguard the hard-fought gains of civilization and champion the ongoing fight for progress is a risk we face when we neglect the history of law and order. Today, let us delve into the history of law and order in ancient Rome, which continues to resonate in the present. This compilation video includes the following chapters: the establishment of legal frameworks, the courts responsible for interpreting the law in specific cases, the prisons for holding individuals before or after their day in court, the police force responsible for enforcing the law and carrying out civil duties, and finally, the maintenance of peace in the provinces to extend Rome's authority across the empire. Together, these chapters provide a framework for understanding the general structures of the past. Additional episodes on our channel explore specific examples of these mechanisms in action, such as the execution of the Monkey Sac, the case of the Sacred Chicken Killer, and investigations into murder. Feel free to explore these episodes at your own convenience. With all this in mind, let us now proceed with today's topic as we delve into the fascinating, albeit occasionally dry, history of ancient law and order.
