Post hoc или propter hoc? Некоторые размышления о связи между принятием lex Iulia de civitate и восстанием в Этрурии и Умбрии в конце 90 г. до н.э.
The article offers a detailed analysis of the information of Appian and other sources concerning the revolt of the Italic communities of Etruria and Umbria and the passing of the lex Iulia de sociis et Latinis civitate danda in order to establish a causal relationship between these events. Although the Julian law was passed after, rather than as a result of, the Etrurian and Umbrian uprising, a link between these events still existed: the uprising accelerated the
adoption of the Julian law and influenced its final content. The Julian law enfranchised not only loyal Italian allies, but also the so-called dediticii. For the latter, a particular procedure was provided: dediticii, if they wished to become Roman citizens, had to apply to the praetor urbanus, who had to announce the senate’s decision in the Popular Assembly, where it would be eventually ratified.
