CONCLUSION

Official Roman (or Graeco-Roman) sources envisage a world ruled by the universal law of Rome and its emperors. However, the central government of Rome, whether in the early or the late empire, before or after the edict of Caracalla, did not control the lives of all its subjects in the sphere of law, and did not attempt to do so.

It is more profitable to look at the issue of law and legal practice from the bottom up, and to ask whether, how and why Rome’s subjects, as individuals or as groups, availed themselves of the Roman legal system - given that from the third century CE, the sphere of Roman law had expanded, and that the bulk of the inhabitants of the empire (most of those who were free) had rights, as Roman citizens, to access it. Such an enquiry takes us well beyond the imperial law codes into papyri, inscriptions and diverse literary texts (including the works of the Church Fathers, a rich source of evidence for legal or extra-legal behaviour at the local level); and it leads us to explore the ways in which Roman law and legal knowledge were used and adapted to local conditions and needs, or simply bypassed, as diverse other strategies were employed for settling disputes and securing order. A legal anthropological approach is an essen­tial complement to and corrective of the legal-centralist perspective that is dominant in late Roman legal studies. ‘The main point may be, that law never was one and that, however sublime justice may be, law is a complex of systems of social control among other complexes of systems of social control’.[272]
