Lo studio esamina le soluzioni giuridiche all’espropriazione delle terre dei popoli indigeni al momento della fondazione delle colonie romane. Da un esame compiuto sulle principali fonti gromatiche, l’autore conclude che si davano due soluzioni principali. Con la prima, gli indigeni, una volta espropriati, perdevano l’autonomia politica, ricevevano in restituzione a titolo individuale le terre ed erano assoggettati, in condizione di incolae, ai magistrati della colonia, cui versavano individualmente i tributi locali. Con la seconda, mantenevano la propria comunità politica con autonoma giurisdizione (res publica), essendo tuttavia tributari della colonia e ottenevano in restituzione collettivamente terre di condizione deteriore rispetto a quelle loro sottratte.

Abstract
The study examines the juridical consequences of the expropriation of lands from indigenous peoples at the establishment of Roman colonies. After examination of the main gromatic sources, the author concludes that two principal solutions existed. According to the first, once dispossessed, indigenous peoples would lose their political autonomy, would have their lands returned to them on an individual basis and would be under the power of the colonial magistrates, to whom they would pay local taxes as individuals (incolae). In the second, they would retain their community as a political entity (res publica) and their independent jurisdiction while still being taxpayers to the colony, and would collectively have land of a lower quality than what they had been dispossessed returned to them.File | Dimensione | Formato | |
