potest. Concerning the relationship between theft and robbery cf. H. Niederländer,<br />
‘Die Entwicklung des furtum und seine etymologischen Ableitungen’, ZRG 67,<br />
1950, 185–260, esp. 228ff.<br />
5 E.g., Tryph. Dig. 16.3.31.1: . . . exempli loco latro spolia quae mihi abstulit posuit apud<br />
Seium etc. Ulp. Dig. 17.2.54.4: . . . alter ex his ad merces comparandas profectus in<br />
<strong>latrones</strong> incidit suamque pecuniam perdidit etc.<br />
6 Call. Dig. 48.19.28.10:<br />
Grassatores, qui praedae causa id faciunt, proximi latronibus habentur. Et si cum<br />
ferro adgredi et spoliare instituerunt, capite puniuntur, utique si saepius atque in<br />
itineribus hoc admiserunt: ceteri in metallum dantur vel in insulas relegantur.<br />
7 Marc. Dig. 48.19.11.2.<br />
8 Call. Dig. 48.19.28.15:<br />
Famosos <strong>latrones</strong> in his locis, ubi grassati sunt, furca figendos compluribus placuit,<br />
ut et conspectu deterreantur alii ab isdem facinoribus et solacio sit cognatis et<br />
adfinibus interemptorum eodem loco poena reddita, in quo <strong>latrones</strong> homicidia<br />
fecissent: nonnulli etiam ad bestias damnaverunt.<br />
9 Seneca, De ira 3.19.2:<br />
Cum latrocinia tenebris abscondi soleant, animadversiones quo notiores sunt plus<br />
in exemplum emendationemque proficiant.<br />
10 Suet. Calig. 30.2:<br />
qui postularent, Tetrinios esse.<br />
11 Modest. Dig. 49.1.6 pr.:<br />
Constitutiones, quae de recipiendis nec non appellationibus loquuntur, ut nihil<br />
novi fiat, locum non habent in eorum persona, quos damnatos statim puniri publice<br />
interest: ut sunt insignes <strong>latrones</strong> vel seditionem concitatores vel duces factionum.<br />
12 Marc. Dig. 48.13.4.2; cf. Call. Dig. 48.19.27.2. On this see Bellen, Sklavenflucht,<br />
13f. and n. 66. Van Hooff, ‘Ancient Robbers’ 107.<br />
13 Ulp. Dig. 4.3.1.3. For dolus bonus cf. A. Wacke, ‘Circumscribere, gerechter Preis<br />
und die Arten der List’, ZRG 94, 1977, (184–246) 221ff.<br />
14 In the case of Cn. Domitius Corbulo, who in ad 46 brought down Gannascus of the<br />
Canninefates by deception, Tacitus emphasises that the use of trickery against a<br />
deserter and a violator of his faith was not dishonourable (Ann. 11.19.2: nec inritae<br />
aut degeneres insidiae fuere adversus transfugam et violatorem fidei). Gannascus was a<br />
renegade Roman auxiliary who, with Chaucian vessels, had undertaken plundering<br />
raids along the Gallic coast.<br />
15 Gai. Dig. 9.2.4 pr. Coll. 10.7.4 = Paul. Sent. 2. On this cf. A. Wacke, ‘Notwehr<br />
und Notstand bei der Aquilischen Haftung. Dogmengeschichtliches über<br />
Selbstverteidigung und Aufopferung’, ZRG 106, 1989, 469–501.<br />
16 Marc. Dig. 47.16.1 pr. Saturn. Dig. 48.19.6 pr.<br />
17 Menand. Dig. 49.16.5.8.<br />
18 For this formulation, reconstructed from the edict of the praetor Lucullus of 76 bc,<br />
see the study of U. Ebert, Die Geschichte des Edikts de hominibus armatis coactisve,<br />
Heidelberg 1968.<br />
19 Pompon. Dig. 50.16.118 pr.:<br />
‘Hostes’ hi sunt, qui nobis aut quibus nos publice bellum decrevimus: ceteri ‘<strong>latrones</strong>’<br />
aut ‘praedones’ sunt. Cf. Ulp. Dig. 49.15.24 pr.: Hostes sunt, quibus bellum<br />
publice populus Romanus decrevit vel ipso populo Romano: ceteri latrunculi vel<br />
praedones appellantur.<br />
A distinction between bella and latrocinia is also drawn by Seneca in his consolation<br />
for Marcia (Ad Marc. 18.8).<br />
