The research aims to evaluate this role in relation to the figure of the so-called ‘dictator optima lege creatus’, in order to isolate his role in the epidemiological context and reconstruct his constitutional position. The author uses an interdisciplinary methodology to approach the problem, reconsidering this particular hypothesis of dictatorship in a perspective of historical discontinuity.

social aggregations. The intersection of these changing roles can impact the consideration of people's Roman Law discipline, with using a wider reconstructive analysys. Through a cross-disciplinary analisys of the sources, between sociology, history and law, the research proposes an experimental approach to the archaic aggregative models, moving from a fragmented methodology to an integrated multilevel analysis of these socio-legal phenomena for improving our knowledge of the legal status of people in ancient Rome.

The analysis starts from a general theory perspective to demonstrate the inadequacy of the legal terminology to identify the conflict of interest in a satisfactory manner. Then the author examines the topic in Roman law, and particularly the possibility of finding these legal objectives in the plebiscitum Claudianum, dating from third century BC. This plebiscitum, erroneously linked to the de repetundis legislation, had the only purpose of prohibiting senators from carrying out maritime trade, an activity considered contrary to the decor of Roman senators. Therefore the author concludes that the considered provision was completely different from the discipline of conflict of interest as it is considered in modern law. Keywords: Conflict of Interest; lex Claudia; senators; leges de repetundis

MacMullen’s preference has rather been «democratic, … blame it on sympathies». «Sympathies» helps to explain also his many articles and several books focused on, or giving space to, the emotions. Emotions, being wrapped around a society’s values, give energy to behavior, as a historian of course must understand («Motivation» being the subtitle to his 2014 book).
It was a great honor for me to interview Ramsay MacMullen. My discussions with him over some twenty years have been a precious source of enrichment, curiosity and knowledge for me. But, first of all, I had a chance to appreciate his extraordinary humanity, a rare quality, a quality that is only possessed by greatest scholars and by best people [SR].
Keywords: historical method, mass culture, emotions.

The consideration of the great scholar's different approach to obligations and contract, encourages the author to reflect on the reasons of this apparent anomaly and to propose a critical re-reading of Bonfante's pages on the topic.

The career of the “Sabinian” jurist Iavolenus Priscus is distinguished by important and prestigious political and military positions. From these experiences emerges a jurist who moves with singular confidence between legal scholarship and professional pragmatism, such that, in his definitiones, the divergence between his thinking and the unshakeable principles of the sectae (the “schools” of jurists in his day) offers contemporary jurisprudence a form of legal thought that is both modern and concrete in nature.

Non c’è ambito che ne sia immune. Il diritto nell’emergenza è sempre messo alla prova: da una parte l’urgenza di assumere decisioni a salvaguardia di valori fondamentali, come la salute e la vita stessa, dall’altra la preoccupazione che negli interstizi del diritto “emergenziale” possano attecchire alterazioni incontrollate dei principi fondamentali del nostro ordinamento.
I meccanismi costituzionali che possediamo consentono in certa misura, come è avvenuto e sta avvenendo nel nostro paese in relazione all’epidemia da Covid-19, di provvedere con strumenti di intervento previsti dall’ordinamento, ma non si può ignorare la diffusa sensazione di inadeguatezza del sistema rispetto a eventi che il diritto, nel suo insieme, non ha previsto e disciplinato.

La cogenza del rito”, svoltosi presso la Facoltà di Giurisprudenza dell’Università LUM Jean Monnet nei giorni 10 e 11 gennaio 2014, nel quadro delle attività del Network ELR – European Legal Roots http://europeanlegalroots.weebly.com. L’iniziativa si muove sulla scia di analoghe attività seminariali,particolarmente destinate a giovani studiosi, e volte, meritoriamente, a sollecitare momenti di riflessione e di crescita scientifica. Tuttavia il Seminario i cui Atti pubblichiamo presenta alcune specificità. I temi sono stati direttamente affidati da chi scrive ai partecipanti cercando di connettere interessi pregressi di ciascuno ad un quadro d’insieme che fosse rappresentativo di alcuni profili significativi e differenziati del complesso rapporto fra religione e diritto, sul piano dei problemi affrontati e sul piano cronologico ...

The role of Bonfante in the academic context, but also in the historical, social and political context in which they were called to operate and the intertwining of the results of the research field of each of them and the private and family events were examined in the complex becoming of history between the last century and the next, and up to the present day. In the background, the most important passages of the historical Italian and international events, to be grasped between "academic" contexts and "civil" and "political" events. Larissa Bonfante, Linguist and Etruscologist, now emeritus of the New York University-Department of Classics, also attended the Conference held in Catanzaro on 6 October 2017. --- Romanisti, storici dell’antichità, storici della cultura e della lingua hanno preso parte all’incontro imperniato sul contributo offerto da Pietro (1864 - 1932), Giuliano (1904 - 2005) e Larissa Bonfante (figlia di Giuliano e nipote di Pietro, classe 1931) alla cultura italiana ed internazionale. Il ruolo dei Bonfante nel contesto accademico, ma anche storico, sociale e politico in cui sono stati chiamati ad operare e gli intrecci fra le risultanze delle ricerche di settore di ciascuno di loro e le vicende private e familiari sono stati esaminati nel divenire complesso della storia a cavaliere fra il secolo scorso ed il successivo, e fino ai nostri giorni. Sullo sfondo, i più importanti passaggi delle vicende storiche internazionali e del nostro Paese, da cogliere fra contesti “accademici” e vicende “civili” e “politiche”. Al Convegno, svoltosi a Catanzaro il 6 ottobre 2017, ha partecipato anche Larissa Bonfante, Linguista ed Etruscologa, oggi emerita della New York University-Department of Classics.

La pluralità delle voci fa emergere l’estrema complessità del tema e rafforza l’esigenza di ancorare giudizi e opinioni a un’informazione rigorosa. Il convegno tenta così di offrire strumenti per valutare, con equilibrio e senza “chiusure” ideologiche, le diverse opzioni etiche e scientifiche in gioco.

La memoria contribuisce così alla costruzione della nostra identità tanto sul piano individuale, quanto su quello sociale, agendo sia come fattore di individuazione, che di omologazione e appartenenza ad una collettività, assumendo una diversa connotazione rispetto al campo d’analisi: in psicologia viene studiata la memoria come funzione psichica; nelle neuroscienze viene studiata la funzione fisiologica della memoria; nelle scienze umane emerge il concetto di memoria collettiva; in informatica vengono studiate le memorie informatiche; in letteratura le memorie sono testi, in cui l'autore tratta di avvenimenti del suo passato; nella religione cattolica le memorie sono celebrazioni liturgiche. Al fondo la memoria istituzionale, ricostruita dagli istituti di ricerca su basi statistiche e la memoria mediale, frutto della composizioni in un unico frame mediale di elementi di conoscenza multifattoriali. Per il giurista, poi, la memoria è il riferimento costante per la ricostruzione dei fatti da sottoporre al vaglio dell’analisi giuridica e talvolta, come nei sistemi basati sul precedente diventa la componente essenziale della stessa regolamentazione normativa.
