Note 110 — XIV METHODS OF LAW-MAKING IN ROME AND IN ENGLAND

The precise nature of the action taken by Augustus and Tiberius is the subject of some controversy, as to which see Goudy’s edition of Muirhead’s History of Roman Law, p. 292, Sohm, Institutionen, § 18, and Krüger, Geschichte der Quellen des Römischen Rechts, § 15. Responsa had been given in earlier days by the Pontifices, and Augustus was Pontifex Maximus. As to a similar practice among Muslims see Essay XIII, p. 239 ante.
