Actor

Actor, a doer, generally a plaintiff or complainant. In a civil or private action the plaintiff was called by the Romans petitor; in a public action (causa publica) he was called accusator. (Cic. Ad. Att. 1. 16.) The defendant was called reus, both in private and public causes; this term, however, according to Cicero (de Orat. Ii. 43), might signify either party, as indeed we might conclude from the word itself. In a private action the defendant was often called adversarius, but either party might be called so with respect to the other. Also a proctor or advocate in civil Courts or causes. Actor dominicus, a term often used for the lord's bailiff or attorney. Actor ecclesi' was sometimes the forensic term for the advocate or pleading patron of a church. Actor vill' was the steward or head bailiff of a town or village, Cowel.Actor is one who acts; a person whose conduct is in question, Black Law Dictionary, 7th Edn., p. 35....

Dies festi, nefasti, et intercisi

Dies festi, nefasti, et intercisi (businessdays, holidays, and half-holidays).For the purpose of the administration of justice all days were divided by the Romans into fasti and nefasti. Dies fasti were the days on which the pr'tor was allowed to administer justice in the public courts; they derived their names from fari (fari tria verba, do, dico, addico, Ovid, Fast. I. 45, etc. 'Varro, De Ling. Lat. vi. 29, 30, edit. Muller; Macrob., Sat. i. 16). On some of the dies fasti comitia could be held, but not on all, Cic., pro Sect. 15, with the note of Manutius.Dies nefasti were days on which neither courts of justice nor comitia were allowed to be held, and which were dedicated to other purposes. Accord-ing to the ancient legends, they were said to have been fixed by Numa Pompilius, Liv. I. 19. One part of a day might be fastus, while another was nefastus, Ovid, Fast. i. 50....

Fieri feci

If a man transferred his property to another, on condition that it should be restored to him, this contract was called fiducia, and the person to whom the property was so transferred was said fiduciam accipere, Cic.

Fiscus

Fiscus, a wicker basket, or pannier, in which the Romans were accustomed to keep and carry about large sums of money (Cic. 1 Verr. C. viii.; Ph'dr. Fab. Ii. 7), hence any treasure or money chest.The treasury of a monarch (as the repository of forfeited property) a noble, or any private person, Black's Law Dictionary, 7th Edn., p. 650.The importance of the imperial fiscus led to the appropriating the name to that property which the C'sar claimed as C'sar, and 'fiscus' without any adjunct, was so used (Juv. Sat. iv. 54). Ultimately the word came to signify, generally, the property of the State, the C'sar having concentrated in himself all the sovereign power; thus the word had finally the signification of 'rarium in the Republican period. It does not appear at what time the 'rarium was merged in the fiscus, though the distinction continued to the time of Hadrian. In the latter periods the words were used indiscriminately, to mean the imperial, which was the only public, chest, Smith's Di...

Jus

Jus, law, right, equity, authority, and rule.A Roman 'magistratus' generally did not investigate the facts in dispute in such matters as were brought before him; he appointed a judex for that purpose, and gave him instructions. Accordingly, the whole procedure was expressed by the two phrases Jus and Judicium; of which the former comprehended all that took place before the magistratus (in jure), and the latter all that took place before the judex (in judicio). Originally, even the magistratus was called judex, as, for instance, the consul and pr'tor (Liv. iii. 55); and under the empire the term 'judex' often designated the pr'ses, Smith's Dict. of Antiq.All law jus) is distributed into two parts--Jus Gentium and Jus Civile--and the whole body of law peculiar to any state is its Jus Civile (Cic. De Orat. I. 44). The Roman Law, therefore, which is peculiar to the Roman state, is its Jus Civile, sometimes called Jus Civile Romanorum, but more frequently designated by the term Jus Civile o...
