The two speeches of Libanius included in this volume open a valuable window into the world of Roman prisons and the role of judges in the lives and survival of the incarcerated.
They further illuminate significant aspects of the daily anguish of the imprisoned, which was expressed through gestures, voices, slogans, and tears.
As becomes clear, prisons and the administration of justice were concerns not only of public opinion and enlightened thinkers but also of the emperors themselves.
