Chapter Six: License to Kill Chapter Seven: Centralization of Power and Sullan Ambiguity Epilogue Notes Bibliography IndexReviewsOverall, this is an enjoyable and well-researched work, which offers an interesting hypothesis that I hope will be a useful addition to the wider debate on Roman law.

Accordingly, it sheds a fascinating new light on the wider issues of power in the republican period and beyond. * Bryn Mawr Classical Review * Overall, this is an enjoyable and well-researched work, which offers an interesting hypothesis that I hope will be a useful addition to the wider debate on Roman law.
