The discussion of curbs on rapacity rounds out our inspection of the same theme in the Republic. The overall sweep of attempts to protect non-Romans, running from the second century BC to the second century AD, presents as one of Rome’s most impressive contributions to human rights.
Freedom of speech and social welfare add nonÂviolent dimensions to the picture—the former mainly in the Republican period with sporadic breaks in the clouds in the Principate, the latter of entirely imperial vintage. Universalism sums up the majestic sweep of humanitas Romana in the Principate. Universal Rome, the idea that Rome was everywhere, survived even the catastrophic events of 476 with consum-mate ease and shaped French and Dutch humanism in Early Modern Europe. Rome was no longer a place on the map, but a set of eternal verities that continued to be known as humanitas. The twentieth century has preferred to advance rash claims of total originality in the matter.
