О характере «неприкосновенных» земель по аграрному закону Гая Гракха
Author of the article seeks to reconcile two main hypotheses about the nature of the lands, which were «withdrawn» by Gaius Gracchus from the scope of the Agrarian law. On basis of a comparative analysis of a Polcevera Tablet, passages from «the Letters» of Cicero and works of the roman agrimensori, that weren’t examined in this respect until now, and Agrarian law of the year 111 b.c. the author comes to the conclusion that the lands, which were granted immunity, were large possessions of the wealthy landholders and, at the same time, possessions of the small land communities, which were embedded in the complex structure of subordination. Therefore, it is for the first time that the reconciliation of the opinion, that Gaius Gracchus withdrew the large tracts of land, and that he defended primarily certain types of communal land, is deemed by the aithor to have become possible.
