"Political Murders" and Enemies of the State: The Crime of Lese-Majeste and Legitimacy under the Principate

Original language description

The chapter deals with the methodological issue of research into legality and its limits in the Roman Principate. In general, it reflects on what the position of the emperor towards the laws was, how far his powers, legally bestowed upon him, reached, and how the emperor's role in the state was perceived by himself and by the other citizens. Specifically, using a combination of juristic and narrative sources the chapter traces the change of a citizen into an enemy of the state, its consequences and legality, and the conduct of the emperor and the senate in such cases.
