Vorträge zur griechischen und hellenistischen Rechtsgeschichte (Tel Aviv, 20.- 23. August 2017)
This paper challenges a long-standing prejudice, and argues that the theory of evolution of atimia from archaic outlawry to the classical deprivation of citizen rights is not supported by the sources. Rather than being the predecessor of atimia, outlawry was an entirely different form of punishment that involved selfhelp by any citizen and existed throughout the classical and Hellenistic periods alongside atimia, which was one of the legal penalties inflicted by the courts.
Keywords: Athenian Law, Proscription, Outlawry, Atimia
