The course aims at providing the students with the knowledge and understanding of the most important changes that occurred from the 1st century b.c. to the half of the following century.

• Roman provincial administration in the Ist Century B.C.;
• The "crimen repetundarum" and the procedure of trials;
• Interpretation of Cicero's Actio.

Those students who have no basic knowledge of the roman world are requested to study by themeselves the handbook. Once every two weeks, the Professor will meet them and explain the paramount concepts and facts they did not understand.

Students are expected to understand not only the institutional changes, but also to evaluate the written and verbal propaganda of the "parties".

-  They will give rise to sufficient evaluations: the achievement of minimal knowledge on the subjects dealt with by the student, even if there are some training gaps; the use of inappropriate language.
