Servius, Cicero and the Res Publica of Justinian

View through CrossRef
Cicero’s correspondence with Servius after the death of Tullia justifies cultural attitudes  which denied legal agency to the populus;Servius’ juristic successors also perpetuated the role of elite legal thinkers as “procurators” and Pomponius’ history of jurisprudence did not acknowledge the transition from ‘Republic” to Empire, which removed constitutional agency from the populus. Servius, Cicero and the successor jurists thus paved the way for the res publica of the autocrat Justinian.
