This volume brings together an international team of scholars to debate Cicero's role in the narrative of Roman law in the late Republic – a role that has been minimised or overlooked in previous scholarship.This reflects current research that opens a larger and more complex debate about the nature of law and of the legal profession in the last century of the Roman Republic.Contributors: Benedikt Forschner • Catherine Steel • Christine Lehne-Gstreinthaler • Jan Willem Tellegen • Jennifer Hilder • Jill Harries • Matthijs Wibier • Michael C.Alexander • Olga Tellegen-Couperus • Philip Thomas • Saskia T.Roselaar • Yasmina Benferhat
