It could have been a document indicating a grain measuring with its quantities and at the end of it the measurer s or the inspector s name is written.
It is highly possible that this person was the lesonis as he was responsible for the economical and financial processes of the temples. In this case, it may have been a certificate testified by the measurer. The lesonis was therefore a state and church title because the person who possessed it had administrative and religious functions as well. For example the papyrus P. Dem is a document listing the rules of a religious community.
In the first part of it, a complete list of all the people concerned is given, then in the second one rules, prohibitions and penalties the consequences of breaking the regulations are enumerated. It must be noted that two different groups of people are distinguished: The lesonis is presented in the first group together with his assistants and companions.
It means that they belonged to the community but they weren t members because they were separated from it from a certain point of view. This confirms also the supervisorfunction of the lesonis as he was responsible for the community as well as for the state.
In this case the adjective chief or great would be the most suitable as it is related to a title. Berlin for example , in this case it could be translated as the greatest of the lesonis. For its forms see Johnson , Zauzich , Concerning the original hieroglyph transcription see Gardiner , De Cenival ,. All assignments, titles and rules were valid for one year, and afterwards the titles were redistributed while the rules were codified again in unchanged or in modified form.
Every member had to contribute financially to the costs of the community. It was in fact a kind of membership fee and the amount of this fee varied according to the person s position. Priests belonging to the leaders like the community leaders or the prophets had to pay a higher fee due to their specific position while the majority of the members had to pay only a basic fee. In social terms the importance of belonging to a community should be emphasized, because all members had to take part in a number of communal feasting and drinking, this contributed to the cohesion of the community.
In case of a member s death the community contributed to the funeral costs, and thereby helped the deceased s family. Anybody who insulted another member physically or mentally was punished severely. This was the most effective way to avoid conflicts within the community and to create a sense of security. In economic terms the association gave a kind of social security to the members because according to the rules if somebody had financial problems, the community was obliged to help him. If we take the state s point of view it is clear that the most important thing for them was that payments and taxes arrive accurately and regularly to the treasury.
At the beginning of the Hellenistic era a large part of the country s arable land was occupied by temples, they were thus in a strong position. The Ptolemies gradually developed the new system but they also needed new areas as they could not take the lands from the temples in service. The duty of lesonis could be considered as a facilitator-role of the process because they controlled, directed and managed the financial affairs of a temple. The importance of this position is also supported by some sources from the Persian period. Three letters should be mentioned, each of 32 Monson , Monson , The extension of the Fayum oasis by placing surrounding desert area under cultivation is due to the Ptolemies.
By gaining new territories they could give lands to the cleruchs. In the chronologically first letter P. Berlin December BC the priests of Elephantine informed the Persian satrapa Pherendates that they have appointed Eskhumpemet, son of Horkheb the new lesonis. Then in the reply letter P.
Berlin April BC Pherendates emphasizes that the newly chosen lesonis should be selected in accordance with Darius, the great king. It was thus not enough to be appointed by the priests of Khnum, but his appointment had to be approved by the satrapa too as he was the representative of the Persian Empire in the country. From the third letter P. Berlin June BC we learn that the candidate has been proved to be appropriate because the addressee of the letter is lesonis Eskhnumpemet in which the sender says thanks to him for a certain sum of money paid. It is true that these letters do not come from the Ptolemaic period but they provide some insight into the importance of the lesonis.
For the state it was never negligible who possessed the title of lesonis in the Egyptian temples.
If it was so important in the Persian era, we can suppose that it was the same during the Ptolemies too. Certainly he must have been a loyal person who took full responsibility for collecting regularly taxes from the temples. The Demotic papyri from Gamhud hitherto published correlate well with the Ptolemaic-era image already known from the corpuses and individual texts published from the beginning of the 20 th century onwards. Every piece can add or modify something in this image. Hopefully additional papyri from Gamhud will be published and they will provide further valuable information about the functioning of contemporary economy.

When dealing with boundary disputes, Roman land-surveyors often refer to a law known as the lex Mamilia. References make clear that the law lays down a prohibition, namely that strips of land 5 or 6 feet broad cannot be acquired by usucapio. It referred to disputes where the breadth of the land in question did not exceed the above-mentioned limit. This law deals with questions related to boundary signs situated between plots as well as with the duties of the magistrates of a colonia.
The present study seeks to examine the relationship between the two laws and to consider how the surviving fragments can be interpreted in relation to each other. Roman land surveying, boundary disputes, lex Mamilia, usucapio, municipal laws. One of the major tasks of Roman land-surveyors was to participate in settling land tenure disputes, either as experts or, more rarely, as judges. Therefore it seems reasonable that in the surviving collection of their works entitled Corpus Agrimensorum Romanorum there are as many as three works dealing with the conflicts arising from disputed boundaries.
The works that could be summarized as de controversiis were written by Frontinus, Hyginus and the late antiquity writer Agennius Urbicus. Frontinus set up two major groups. One of them was related to the problem of finis, while the other was connected to locus materiae controversiarum sunt duae, finis et locus.
The next chronologically is Hyginus, whose work is entitled de generibus controversiarum 90C. At the beginning of the presumably late antiquity writer Agennius Urbicus work we can find the title de controversiis agrorum 16C. Campbell , xxvii-xxxvii and Castillo Pascual. At the end of his work he also considers some further possible categories which he does not detail but treats as pertaining to the field of law.
Urbicus begins to describe his own grouping system by presenting abstract categories, but following a theoretical and philosophical introduction, he also deals with land disputes in terms of categories that are similar to the ones used by his predecessors mentioned above. Frontinus mentions this first of all. Hyginus does not deal with this category, but Urbicus also regards it as the most important one. Urbicus text is fragmentary at this particular point but on the basis of the surviving parts we can assume that he also started to present disputes with de positione terminorum Frontinus 4C; Urbicus C.
The starting point of the procedure was the discrepancy between the location of boundary signs and the latest property description secundum proximi temporis possessionem non conveniunt. The agrimensores had to define the initial correct location of these boundary signs and also to suggest how the signs could be repositioned in the right place. Consequently the procedure only made a statement of fact and it was a further procedure that clarified the legal situation. It is not by chance that Urbicus calls it anticipalis in nature. In terms of procedural law this is a praeiudicium, the results of which will be taken into account in the next trial.
Naturally, the agrimensores give us an account of how the case went, but before that we should have a look at legal sources. In Book 47 of the Digest we can read about the actio de termino moto, the name of which seems to be closely related to the following words of Urbicus: However parallel the two texts might seem, it is only the basic facts that are the same.
In both cases regulation is based on the 3 The lack of explanation is mainly due to the uncertainty connected to Frontinus works. Altogether 4 shorter works of his have been preserved, namely de agrorum qualitate, de controversiis, de limitibus, de arte mensoria. These works in Campbell s edition are no longer than 7 pages C. We cannot decide whether they are four fragments of a larger piece of work or extracts from four different works Cf.
Dilke , Campbell , Cf. While land surveyors writings mainly refer to private lawsuits, the Digest tends to feature criminal law regulations. Callistratus refers to two pieces of lex agraria C. Caesar, Nerva , and Hadrian s rescriptum when presenting the rules. Hadrian ordered that if people from the higher ranks of society splendidiores personae committed such an act in order to occupy others land, they were to be sent in exile for a period that was inversely proportional to their age.
Those who moved boundary signs while performing some other task had to do hard labour for two years. Presumably this was the category into which land surveyors also fell. Those who committed such an act only by chance, or out of ignorance, were simply whipped. No matter whom the name referred to, the law containing his name is at least hundred years older than Hadrian s rescriptum.
It stipulates that people who, dolo malo, change the location of boundary signs will have to pay fifty aurei per boundary sign. The procedure could be started by anyone, thus it was an actio popularis. Nerva s law added that slaves committing this act should be sentenced to death. The development of sanctions is important from a sociological perspective as well.
The offence was already punishable by a significant fine, although it seems rather to have been a compilation. It must have been the growing number of land occupations as a result of boundary mark movement that prompted emperors to introduce more severe sanctions. The reason behind this is that it was precisely these social groups that enlarged their lands using such methods, without fear of punishment.
It was the result of social processes that Modestinus despite earlier laws does not allow financial penalties, and provides for sanctions in concordance with Hadrian s provision. After finishing the procedure of de positione terminorum the land owners concerned faced a further procedure. As Frontinus 4, C puts it: Thus the real lawsuit following the settlement of the de positione terminorum problem had to decide on either de loco or de fine.
Urbicus treats locus and modus as the subject of the next dis- 6 Crawford , Urbicus 26, 33C also thinks that boundary marks are moved usurpandi finis causa. De fine, de loco and de modo also appear in Hyginus work. In de fine procedures agrimensores are concerned with what forms the boundary between two plots. They mention boundary stones such as marks, marked trees and alleys, ditches, streams, hilltops etc.
They describe in details what circumstances and conditions land surveyors had to consider. For example on the basis of the marks on trees they had to decide whether the boundary marking tree was common or belonged to one of the owners only. Similarly, ditches also had to be examined carefully to decide who they belonged to and whether they were situated on the border line or not. A solution to the latter question is sought by Urbicus, who in fact does not deal with the question of ditches separating plots because that part of his work must have been lost.
However, when analysing termini sacrificales, he tells us that the so-called boundary signs were not necessarily placed at the physical boundary of plots, but their placement could sometimes be influenced by opportunitas and commoditas. Both these words can be interpreted as religious and practical terms at the same time. The above mentioned aspects could also have been taken into consideration when designating the place for other boundary sign as well. When digging ditches, it was the soil parameters and facilitation of drainage that played the most important role. Besides practical pieces of advice land surveyors also make some references to the legal nature of such boundary disputes.
Frontinus specifies that the procedure is subject to lex Mamilia providing that the boundary dispute originates from de rigore.

Their legal status is the same as that of conflicts arising from de fine causes. The only difference is that while rigor refers to a boundary line without any extension, finis is a border having some extension. According to land surveyor specialists both types of boundaries shall be analysed as subject to lex Mamilia. That may be the reason why, following the description of de positione terminorum, it is the case of finis rather than that of rigor that is paid great attention to besides locus, because borders with some extension were significant for practical reasons as well.
The difference between disputes connected to locus and procedures de fine was that in the case of de loco procedures debate was about a territory or strip of land which was broader than the extent specified by law. It could also be relevant from the point of view of farming, in contrast to the strip of land determined by lex Mamilia, which was important mainly for transport.
According to Hyginus 92, C , who fails to mention the text of the law, the five or six feet wide strip of land was used by land owners to get to their plots iter culturas accedentium , or it served as a place to turn the plough round circumactus aratri. Frontinus states that it is the procedure connected to disputed plots or boundary lines not wider that five feet that are subject to the law mentioned above. Urbicus considers it important to mention in connection with this law that even legal scholars have doubts about how to interpret the measures specified by the law because its text is archaic antiqui sermonis.
The other uncertainty related to the law was the width of 5 or 6 feet appr m specified in the lex. What is most important from the legal point of view is the fact that in order to preserve this strip of 5 or 6 foot wide land for common use there was no possibility for its usucapio. Meanwhile, their control falls within the scope of local magistrates. The second fragment sets out payment of a sanction for those who change the located boundary lines in any way, e. The third fragment also refers to the consequences of moving boundary lines by describing the procedure to be followed.
The duty of the magistrates of coloniae was to appoint a judge to clarify and decide on the disputed case. The only means of proving one s right in the fragment is taking evidence, and also threatening to make the guilty party pay a fine. The fact that the authenticity of boundary lines was of community interest is shown by the following: In relation to the latter mentioned law research has mainly been preoccupied with dating.
The latter fragment as we have already mentioned is referred to as the law of a C. Caesar in connection with de termino moto. On the basis of the definition the above mentioned Hyginus 92C can also be referred to here C. The text is quoted by Hardy , and also Crawford ,. Caesar mentioned in the Digest with Caligula, we can say there are basically two different views on its dating. The first view considers this law to be part of the numerous judicial acts that started after BC as a counter reaction to Gracchus measures, and thus could be dated back to BC.
In this case the law can be linked to C. Mamilius Limetanus, who was also known for his actions against the abuse associated with Jugurtha Sall. Furthermore, there is disagreement concerning the exact year, even among those who date the law back to Caesar s age. Among the possible years 59, 55 and 49 have all been mentioned, together with the period between 47 and So far, research has hardly dealt with clarifying the connection between the two laws mentioned by land surveyors.
Kroll though in an unspoken fashion identifies the two laws as one when he uses Agennius Urbicus 24C statement on the archaisms found in lex Mamilia to date the other law. It is Cicero that gives us clues for dating lex Mamilia. In his dialogue entitled de legibus, which was presumably written around BC, he traces back the prohibition of the usucapio of the five-foot wide boundary strip to the 10 For a short insight on possibilities cf. Kroll, RE 12, Cf. Hardy , sqq. Heurgon , sqq. Heurgon also dates back another extremely disputed piece of CAR, the so-called Vegoia prophecy to the beginning of the civil wars.
Kroll, RE 12, Cary , , argues for year 55, which he explains on the basis of the growing number of soldiers needed as a result of Caesar s conquest of Gaul.
Crawford , and sqq. Therefore his comment on the law having ancient wording should be taken into chronological consideration accordingly. He is followed by Campbell ,. He also adds that upon the principles of ancient laws three judges arbitri were required in the case of de finibus disputes, while Mamilius law only prescribed one judge Cic. One of them concentrates on the five or six feet wide boundary strip and the prohibition of usucapio of this land, whereas the other deals with the authority and duties of magistrates of towns and the procedure itself.
However, the aim of the fragments was similar as both of them aimed at the stability of current ownership. The law called lex municipii Salpensani, which dates back to Domitian s time, regulates the freeing of slaves and appointing of guardians.
In the case of the two laws named after Mamilius we should differentiate on the basis of another distinguishing feature. The law named lex Mamilia Roscia Peducaea Alliena Fabia contains regulations of a procedural type, whereas the lex Mamilia preserved by land surveyors states a substantive type of provision: The common goal of both provisions was the prevention of land boundary disputes by maintaining the unobtainability of these boundary strips between plots.
This was not only in the interest of the state public regulation but also of private parties private law regulation. Therefore it is possible that the fragments belong to the same law instead of being fragments of two separate laws. The regulation of land ownership is often part of the laws of towns. The laws of lex Irnitana and lex Malacitana, which date back to Domitian s age, contain provisions on the obligations of guarantors and witnesses, as well as on 15 Cf.
Crawford , Cary , refers to something similar when treating lex Mamilia Roscia Peducaea Alliena Fabia, but his conclusions lead in a totally different direction. What is more, he does not consider the lex Mamilia referred to in connection with land surveyors. The law of the municipium of Irni says in its rubric number LXXVI that it is the duty of duumviri to make proposals to the town council on the examination of town boundaries, lands and territories providing tax to the town. The examination was carried out by walking through these territories with the aim of detecting abuses.
The remaining fragments of the laws of Tarentum, Urso and Irni all have sections that provide for taking into consideration the interests of individuals when establishing roads, ditches or channels sine iniuria privatorum. The protection of individuals interests in the case of community investments suggests that these interests could also have been protected from other individuals by legal regulations. The Digest lists as a public service mission of town magistrates the termination of the usucapio of anything that is town property. It does not seem impossible that the regulation of usucapio also referred to the boundary strips lying between individuals lands and not only to public lands.
The boundary strip as we could see was used as a road. Quae viae publicae itinerave publica sunt fuerunt intra eos fines, qui colon. The stability of land ownership and transport was also a primary interest of the town community. It was the magistrates who possessed the public power that could preserve and guarantee the existing legal status. Furthermore, magistrates were also in possession of authentic, or least reference, data in connection with plots.
During the census they made surveys which they recorded in the socalled forma censualis, which contained the name of the plot, the owner of the land and of the two adjoining plots, the location of the plot within the local administrative units, its size and how it was cultivated Dig. The dating of lex Mamilia in relation to Cicero as a terminus ante quem, and the proposed dating of lex Mamilia Roscia Peducaea Alliena Fabia give us conforming dates.
Urbicus statement on the archaic language of the first law provides us only with a relative dating; and if we accept the idea that Urbicus wrote in late antiquity, his dating does not contradict our theory that lex Mamilia can also be considered as dating back to the first century B. The aim of the two laws, as we can deduce from fragments, is common: This is of paramount importance for individuals, the community and the state alike. Regulation on land tenure also appears in further municipal laws.
All things considered we may draw the conclusion that the fragments are part of a single law and not two different ones.

Meier , 86; Traina , Portano determinatamente in questa direzione Cass. Alla communis opinio che Cesare recasse sul capo la corona d alloro, che aveva il diritto di portare ovunque con l abbigliamento pertinente ai trionfatori 12, si oppone il solo Cassio Dione, il quale prospetta Cesare in abito regale e con lucente corona d oro sul capo 13, il che significherebbe che Cesare aveva davvero rotto gli indugi e che la sua comparsa in abbigliamento da re preludeva alla imminente investitura regale per mano di Antonio in nome del popolo romano.
Sulle reazioni di Lepido ai Lupercali ci ragguaglia Cicerone, probabile testimone oculare 15 o almeno in possesso di notizie di prima mano, eppure scarsaconsiderazione, pur avvalorata da parecchie attestazioni antiche e ampiamente condivisa dai moderni, un altra tuttavia si oppone: II 85, comunemente inteso quale riferimento ad una corona d alloro, rende assai problematica la versione di Plut.
Cesare, una volta rifiutato il diadema, non poteva certo farlo collocare su qualche sua statua. II , che si limita a collocare Cesare su un trono d oro davanti ai rostri , Cesare poteva indossarlo sempre, essendo uno degli onori straordinari attribuitigli nel Dio XLIV 11, 2 potrebbe intendersi come manifesto di Cesare per ricollegarsi agli antichi re di Roma e in specie alla dinastia etrusca dei Tarquinii; da notare, sulla scorta di K.

A nostro avviso l annotazione nei Fasti citata da Cicerone, Caesari dictatori perpetuo, M. Antonium consulem populi iussu regnum detulisse, Caesarem uti noluisse va ascritta ad iniziativa di Antonio in quanto il nesso avversativo at etiam, col deciso Cicerone azzera il plauso che altre fonti pur registrano sebbene in varia misura 31, e lo tramuta invece in generale sconcerto e cordoglio, mentre all opposto universalizza l entusiasmo generale per l irremovibile diniego di Cesare.
Tale esagerazione, artatamente voluta, risponde a un duplice obiettivo, isolare il velleitario Antonio quale unico scellerato fra tanta gente dabbene e intanto preparare la stoccata decisiva: Di Cicerone resta valida la sequenza evenemenziale, corredata di qualche particolare inedito tipo la concione che Antonio avrebbe tenuto in un momento da lui lasciato imprecisato, ma rintracciabile con notevole sicurezza: Nic insiste su un consenso maggioritario all incoronazione cfr.
Cesare achthestheis si alza e scostando la toga offre platealmente il collo a chi volesse ucciderlo.

Lasciamo ai posteri l ardua sentenza, dato che mancano al momento elementi decisivi in un senso o nell altro. Dio XLIV 11, 2, ma vd. Norcio , 20, nota La dotta disquisizione in merito del compianto A. Avendo egli medesimo escluso la sussistenza nel sentire comune dell interpretazione originaria della festa, in qualche modo connessa con il potere regio e quindi particolarmente adatta per la creazione di un re, non resta, a suo stesso dire 38, che sganciare i Lupercali da ogni pretesa di simbolismo regale e ridurre l evento a un rito imperniato su una corsa lasciva e scatenata.
Secondo Fraschetti, la partecipazione di Antonio alla corsa non dipende semplicemente dalla sua nomina a capo dei Luperci Iulii 39, ma assume un significato recondito. Siccome nei nefasti dies parentales, in cui rientrano i Lupercalia, si chiudono i templi in segno di lutto ed i magistrati depongono le insegne vestendo da privati cittadini, ecco che il console Antonio si spoglia del suo apparato magistratuale e mette in atto una variazione di statuto della sua persona Fraschetti , Documentazione essenziale in Fraschetti , , nota.
Discutibile invece l assunto tratto dalle considerazioni suddette. Combinando ingegnosamente la nota definizione dei Lupercali in Cic. Scegliere appositamente un contesto del genere per proclamare Cesare re avrebbe, a mio avviso, screditato a priori il tentativo di golpe, anche nel caso di una riuscita immediata: Vien comunque da chiedersi se almeno sia possibile appurare le reali intenzioni della coppia consolare del III 26, 9 e Plin.
