INDIVIDUAL AND COLLECTIVE CRIMES IN THE ROMAN ARMY
Keywords:
Army, Insubordination, Commands, Senate, FearAbstract
The Roman army knew from its origins that a military law, through maintenance of a strong discipline, would be able to impose order on the troops. However, the disciplinary measures would not be the exclusive work of the military commanders. The Senate and some magistrates would play a prominent role. Nevertheless, the application of punishments on large groups of soldiers who jointly committed crimes would develop a kind of tepidness that allows us
to speak directly to the fear that was present among the commanders when facing the risk of a general uprising.
