L’AFRICA, GILDONE E LA GESTIONE DEI SUOI FONDI CONFISCATI
AFRICA, GILDO AND THE MANAGEMENT OF HIS CONFISCATED LAND

Summary/Abstract: We examine the historical events of roman general Gildo, who fell into disgrace and was declared hostis publicus by the Senate of Rome in the winter of 397 AD. After his death, the land he had previously occupied in Africa, at that time the „granary“ of Rome, was confiscated in favor of imperial res privata. Some constitutions present in the Theodosian Code preserve the memory of it; from them emerges the will of the western imperial chancellery to recover the profitability of the „possessiones Gildonis“ for the benefit of the res privata.
