Grouping offenses functionally into five chapters, she examines crimes committed for gain, crimes involving violence, sexual offenses, offenses against the state, and offenses against the due ordering of society.

Trade Review
This is a short book for Roman lawyers in a hurry, with punchy chapters outlining the various criminal offenses that the Roman law recognized. The point of the book is chiefly to outline what the law was; procedure and punishment are dealt with summarily. The substantive law is reconstructed by economically leavening material from books forty-seven and -eight of the Digest with other legal and literary evidence. -- J. E. Lendon Classical Journal Robinson's book is most welcome. Bryn Mawr Classical Review Robinson discusses the framework within which the law operated and the nature of criminal responsibility. She looks particularly at the criminal law in Rome as it was established in the Late Republic under Sulla's system of standing jury-courts. Law and Social Inquiry
