Jakub Urbanik (University of Warsaw): /The status and law between the 
centre and periphery. On survival of local laws in the Roman Empire/

*Abstract:* This paper will address the perennial question of the 
relations between the Roman and local laws after the Roman conquest. My 
starting point is reading, with Mélèze Modrzejewski, of a passage from 
the rhetorical treatise ascribed to Menander of Laodicea, /De divisione 
generis demonstrativi/, which has been used by some to evidence the 
final victory of Roman law over the local orders. Modrzejewski’s view 
that the local laws surived under the Roman rule reduced to role of 
subordinated customs will be then examined in the light of some 
instances in which the law of the Egyptian is evoked as the competent 
order to decide the pending cases. Finally, with two passages from the 
/Digest /(XIV 2.9 pr. and I 3.34 pr.) I will try reformulating the ideas 
on how law was actually applied in Egypt by the Roman authorities.

The event is a part of an interdisciplinary seminar series titled 
Helsinki Research on the Ancient World. This monthly seminar operates 
under the aegis of the PapyGreek 
(https://www.helsinki.fi/en/researchgroups/digital-grammar-of-greek-documentary-papyri) 
and SpaceLaw (www.spacelaw.fi) projects. It is co-organized by Marja 
Vierros, Anna-Maria Wilskman, Kaius Tuori and Samuli Simelius. The 
seminar is open for all.

Welcome!
