Description
Workshop 6 "Procedure": University of Edinburgh. ALC is an "...interdisciplinary research network comprising scholars from different disciplines who are interested in the interplay between law and society in the ancient Mediterranean. The co-ordinators of this group are Dr Paul J. du Plessis in the School of Law and Dr Ulrike Roth in the School of History, Classics and Archaeology. We start from the belief that there are a number of fundamental problems to be addressed: how and how far Roman law and other legal systems provided a framework for, and even perhaps facilitated, economic development, social change and political evolution, and whether that development, change and evolution modified the content and procedures of Roman law and other ancient legal systems; and how the use of legal evidence may lead to a better understanding of ancient societies, and vice versa. While the expertise of the co-ordinators lies within the study of law and society in the Graeco-Roman world, the network aims to include discussion of legal systems also of other parts of the ancient world. ALC also provides a forum for doctoral students to undertake research on aspects that fall within the remit of the network."| Period | 29 Jan 2016 → 30 Jan 2016 |
