PENALTIES OF DISHONOR IN ROMAN LAW

Summary/Abstract: Honor was of great importance in Roman society, because it was one of the determinants of the legal status of a citizen. There were several forms of diminishing the honor, as a result of intestabilitas, infamia and turpitudo penalties. Also, the punishment of dishonor could be sentenced as a consequence of the abuse of good trust (fducia, societas, tutela, mandatum, depositum), private delict (furtum, iniuria, calumnia, rapina, dolus malus), moral delict, and in the field of inheritance, it appeared in the form of limiting the passive and hereditary testamentary capacity. In Roman society, special significance was attributed to the purity of the Vestals, so insulting their honor would result in the punishment of dishonor.
