Note 20 — II. ROMAN POLITICS AND MODERN POLITICS
Reading edition
A striking illustration of the looseness of procedure in Roman courts is given by Cicero in a letter to Atticus (ad Atticum, I. 16. 3-6), translated by E. O. Winstedt, Letters to Atticus, 3 vols., New York, 1919, in The Loeb Classical Library. On the course of a trial in a Roman court, cf. A. H. J. Greenidge, The Legal Procedure of Cicero’s Time, Oxford, 1901, pp. 456-504.
