Ursus Posted May 10, 2006 Report Share Posted May 10, 2006 A "judicial legate" was appointed by the Flavians onward to spearhead legal matters in Britain, freeing the governor there for military affairs. Was this institution peculiar to Britain, or did other provinces have them? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FLavius Valerius Constantinus Posted May 10, 2006 Report Share Posted May 10, 2006 (edited) From what I could gather from online. The legati iuridicus, as an aid to the governor, were usually appointed in provinces that demanded or is under the direct supervision of the emperor himself personally. I for sure know that Britannia wasn't the only place with the legati iuridicus, I believe Tarraconensis had them too.

Perhaps they were only appointed in provinces that were in very troublesome areas or had a history of discontent where military action was required.

Ursus Posted May 11, 2006 Author Report Share Posted May 11, 2006 I can't find any evidence for it outside of Britain, and even there it was said to be an "episodic" appointment. I think it's an interesting position ... but one that became obsolete when Britain was divded into further provinces. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
