| Summary: | Our knowledge of Roman law is based primarily on the works of Justinian’s codification. When we read through the ‘Corpus Iuris Civilis’, we gain an excellent insight into the legal culture of the high and late classical period. But if we want to engage in an in-depth research into the earlier stages of Roman law, we have to rely on other sources. In this aspect, the sources of ancient literature (so-called ‘non-legal’ sources), inscriptions and papyri are particularly relevant. Research into the links between Roman law and ancient literature is one of the most interesting and innovative areas of (legal) Roman studies. This essay deals – from a legal perspective – with the 9th satire from Horace’s first book of satires (so-called ‘Schwätzersatire’).
