2000-th anniversary from the death of the first Roman emperor Octavian
August. He is considered the father of the Roman Empire in spite of the
fact that during his rule the institutions of the republican period were
still alive. The age of August is known as PAX ROMANA, and marks the
beginning of a long period of peace which favored both the economic
development and the consolidation of the political dominance of Rome I
the Mediterranean area. This is also a period of important legal
reforms, establishment of the principles of administration in the
provinces and setting up of the structure of the centralized
administration, management and jurisdiction in the empire.
August is an especially suitable topic for the start of a new
initiative for popularization of the Roman legal culture and tradition

specific topic and includes articles, which are relevant both to its
Roman and to its contemporary legal aspects. Issues of the journal are
published twice a year, once in June and once in December.
