massurius - Synonyms for massurius | Synonyms Of massurius

Examples of "massurius"
Paulus was a contemporary to the Roman Jurists Aulus Ofilius and Massurius Sabinus. He is known from the writings of Pomponius. Paulus’ original and independent ideas are only known from the quotations from the Roman jurists Julius Paulus, Domitius Ulpianus and Julian. The quotations have survived because the works were not directly accepted in the Digest.
Masurius Sabinus, also Massurius, was a Roman jurist who lived in the time of Tiberius (reigned 14–37 AD). Unlike most jurists of the time, he was not of senatorial rank and was admitted to the equestrian order only rather late in life, by virtue of his exceptional ability and imperial patronage. Masurius was the first person to give "state-certified opinions" "(publice respondere)", a privilege granted by the emperor which marked increasing imperial control over the judicial process after the end of the Roman Republic. Before the Principate of Augustus, the value of legal opinions was based on the expertise of those who gave them. The passage in the "Digest" of Justinian that discusses the granting of Masurius's authority is thus a pivotal point in the history of Roman law.
