Studies in Roman government and society

Authored by Sebastian Ruciński, this ebook delves into the intricacies of ancient Roman administration, law, and society through sixteen thought-provoking studies. Originally published as separate articles in Polish between 2007 and 2020, these essays underwent significant revisions for their English edition.

The Studies in Roman Government and Society provide readers with a comprehensive understanding of the Flavian era, thanks to the author's participation in a research project by the Polish Ministry of Science and Higher Education. The book is divided into chronological sections based on its subject matter.

Key chapters focus on the Flavian dynasty's political system (Chapters 8-14), which reflects the author's expertise and insight. Highlights include a study of Tiberius Julius Alexander, an influential supporter of Vespasian's rise to imperial dignity (Chapter 8), as well as analyses of changes in the composition and organization of privileged classes during the Flavian period (Chapters 9-10).

Studies also features a detailed examination of the image of the imperial council under Domitian, based on Juvenal's Fourth Satire (Chapter 11), and a study of Vespasian and Domitian's economic reforms - crucial accomplishments in imperial power at the time (Chapter 12).

Intriguingly, Chapter 13 explores the trial of Apollonius of Tyana before Domitian's tribunal using Flavius Philostratus' biography as a source. Although the biography was written later and has legendary elements, the author believes it can inform criminal proceedings analysis.

Studies concludes with Chapter 14, a commentary on Statius' poem that assigns praetorian prefects the duty of ensuring the emperor's safety - an essential task for praetorian prefects.
