This book presents a new etymology and a re-evaluation of the functions of the sequester, a legal term in Roman law, in order to show the complexities of ancient legal procedure. The author traces the origin and development of the sequester in Roman law and the various meanings of the term. The sequester, who was initially a trusted third party who held a disputed object in deposit until the dispute was settled, later came to be used as an intermediary in negotiations, particularly in cases of bribery. Over time, the term sequester was also used to refer to individuals who were involved in other illicit activities, such as procuring and pimping. The author examines the changing role of the sequester in Roman law and society, shedding light on the legal and social norms of the time. This book is a valuable resource for scholars of Roman law and ancient history, offering a comprehensive analysis of the sequester and its significance in ancient legal practice.
