Rogatio e privilegium in Fest. de verb. sign. (p. 326.17L)

Abstract The paper analyzes the long-standing problem concerning the relationship between rogatio and privilegium, extending the investigation to particular aspects of the legislative procedure, relevant to this topic. The research originates from the analysis of the headword rogatio in Festus’ vocabulary, highlighting its criticalities both in relation to legal thought and, more generally, in relation to literary and epigraphic evidence.
