Resumo: | The disadvantages of a bad government and the fight against corrupt practices have been debated since antiquity. In Rome, especially after the Second Punic War (218-201 B.C.), several measures were employed to contain the spread of the practices that were considered corrupt. One of them was to create laws to prevent and punish the poor provincial administration and the extortion committed by Roman magistrates, such as Lex Iulia repetundarum (59 BC). During the Principate, the search for ways to combat corruption continued. Therefore, this article aims to interpret the reports contained in the Epistles of Pliny the Younger concerning five repetundae trials against former governors of Roman provinces before senatorial court. Our study aims to understand the strategies employed in Rome to combat political corruption and the role of the Senate, as a court of justice, in the maintenance of the Empire administration. |

Em Roma, principalmente após a Segunda Guerra Púnica (218-201 a.C.), diversas medidas foram empregadas visando a conter a expansão das práticas consideradas corruptas. Uma dessas medidas foi a criação de leis que coibiam e puniam a má administração provincial e a extorsão praticadas por magistrados romanos, como a Lex Iulia repetundarum (59 a.C.). Durante o Principado, observa-se uma permanência na busca por modos de combate à corrupção. Assim, este artigo tem como objetivo interpretar os relatos contidos na documentação epistolar de Plínio, o Jovem, acerca de cinco processos instaurados na Corte Senatorial contra ex-governadores de províncias acusados de repetundae. O estudo desses relatos visa a compreender as estratégias empregadas em Roma no combate à corrupção política e o papel do Senado, como corte de justiça, na manutenção da administração do Império.Portal de Periódicos da Ufes2016-06-30info:eu-repo/semantics/articleinfo:eu-repo/semantics/publishedVersionapplication/pdfhttps://periodicos.ufes.br/romanitas/article/view/1452110.17648/rom.v0i7.14521Romanitas - Revista de Estudos Grecolatinos; N. 7 (2016): janeiro-junho; 88-103Romanitas - Revista de Estudos Grecolatinos; n. 7 (2016): janeiro-junho; 88-103Romanitas - Revista de Estudos Grecolatinos; No. 7 (2016): janeiro-junho; 88-103Romanitas - Revista de Estudos Grecolatinos; Núm. 7 (2016): janeiro-junho; 88-103Romanitas - Revista de Estudos Grecolatinos; No 7 (2016): janeiro-junho; 88-1032318-930410.17648/rom.v0i7reponame:Romanitasinstname:Universidade Federal do Espírito Santo (UFES)instacron:UFESporhttps://periodicos.ufes.br/romanitas/article/view/14521/10215Copyright (c) 2016 Romanitas - Revista de Estudos Grecolatinoshttps://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-nc-nd/4.0info:eu-repo/semantics/openAccessSouza, Dominique Monge Rodrigues de 2023-08-14T20:30:48Zoai:periodicos.ufes.br:article/14521Revistahttps://periodicos.ufes.br/romanitasPUBhttps://periodicos.ufes.br/romanitas/oaigil-ventura@uol.com.br || es.leir@gmail.com2318-93042318-9304opendoar:2023-08-14T20:30:48Romanitas - Universidade Federal do Espírito Santo (UFES)false |
