Ancora sulle cosiddette «colonie latine fittizie» transpadane (Asc. In Pis. 3 Clark)

Abstract

Asconius In Pis. 3 Clark, is the only witness of the institution of latin colonies in Transpadana (indeed to be extended also to main urban settlements of Cispadana not yet organized in the forms of Roman towns), in different shapes from the previous ones settled, and of the attribution of ius Latii to the concerned inhabitants, by Pompeus Strabo in 89 BC Which were those differences is disputed. Overlooked theories of the Authors about it, the way in which this new type of colonies was settled and their Constitution are investigated, as well as if their magistrates could achieve Roman citizenship, and eventually in which way, and also if the attribution of ius Latii should be referred just to the inhabitants of these towns or to all Cisalpini, point related to the content of ius Latii starting from 89 BC.
