Abstract

The study focuses on the criminal case brought against Appius in the immediate aftermath of the publication of the Twelve Tables, which was followed by the enactment of the Valerian-Horatian legislation. This case is remarkable for a number of reasons, which will be elucidated in the conclusion, following a comprehensive examination of the following three key aspects: 1. the fundamental facts on which the plebeian trial was based; 2. the procedural guarantees that all Roman citizens were provided with in 449 BCE; 3. the circumstances in which, according to the ius sacrum, such guarantees were to be disregarded.
