A comprehensive reassessment of the legal aspects of the colonate, situating the phenomenon within its socio-economic context. It examines afresh two critical sources, the Theodosian and Justinian Codes, and is an invaluable resource for students and scholars of Roman law and the agricultural and social history of late antiquity.
The fourth and fifth centuries AD gave rise to a particular phenomenon in the Roman Empire: the colonate. The colonate involved the fiscal regulation of a relationship of surety between landowners and farmers in the later Roman Empire and played a major role in agrarian and social relations, with implications for these farmers' freedom of movement and transmission of status. This study provides a clear and comprehensive reassessment of the legal aspects of the phenomenon, embedding them as far as possible in their social and economic contexts. As well as taking the innovative approach of working retrogradely, or backwards through time, the volume provides a thorough assessment of two critical sources, the Theodosian and Justinian Codes, and will therefore be an invaluable resource for students and scholars of Roman law and the agricultural and social history of late antiquity.

Boudewijn Sirks is Emeritus Regius Professor of Civil Law at the University of Oxford and an Emeritus Fellow of All Souls College. He was formerly Professor of Private Law and Legal History at Goethe-Universität Frankfurt and is currently Member of the Direttivo of the Associazione Storico-Giuridica Costantiniana.
