This book approaches the subject of late Roman law from the perspective of legal practice revealed in courtroom processes, as well as more "informal" types of dispute settlement . Far from revealing a legal system in decline, it argues for a creative and vibrant culture of forensic argumentation in late Antiquity -- which included Christian controversies concerning "heresy" and "orthodoxy" within it, revealing its far-reaching effects on theological debate.
