Lecture: Communication and publicity of the law in Rome

Professor Rena van den Bergh from the University of South Africa will give a talk titled “Communication and publicity of the law in Rome”. The presentation will explore how public policy such as law was communicated through the Roman empire, the means by which imperial letters, rescripts and laws spread via the road network and how this was affected by the spread of Roman citizenship in the provinces. The lecture will take place on Monday 25th January, 4-6 pm at Unioninkatu 37, seminar room 1094. The lecture is open for all. Welcome!
