Il titolo giustineneo De poenis punisce drasticamente mediante CJ.9.47.25 i cives romani rei di trasmettere ai barbari informazioni attinenti a costruzioni navali. L’irrogazione dell’extremum supplicium colpisce l’incriminato. Il corpus Teodosianum consente di risalire alle cause che hanno determinato la promulgazione del provvedimento. Appare di ulteriore interesse in CTh.9.40.24 il riferimento alla libertà accordata ai prigionieri in attesa dell’extremum supplicium. La versione teodosiana pone in evidenza l’eccezionalità dell’indulgenza concessa su istanza episcopale proveniente dai confini dell’impero. L’omissione in CJ.9.47.25 dei riferimenti specifici presenti in CTh.9.40,24 pare ascrivibile non solo alla astrazione giustinianea maggiore rispetto al codice precedente ma ad interdire sollecitazioni ecclesiastiche della pena prevista.

Abstract
The Justinian title “De poenis”, in CJ.9.47.25, severely punishes “Cives Romani” guilty of sharing information, regarding naval buildings, to the Barbarians. “Extremum supplicium” was inflicted upon the indicted. The “corpus Teodosianum” allows one to understand the reasons for the promulgation of this provision. With reference to CTh.9.40.24, this law gives an insight into the potential freedom granted to prisoners waiting for “extremum supplicium”. In the Theodosian version, the exceptional indulgence allowed towards episcopal figures, coming from within the Empire, is put in evidence. The omission of specific references made in CTh.9.40.24 from CJ.9.47.25, is attributable not only to the greater level of abstraction present in the Justinian code with comparison to the previous code, but also to ecclesiastical solicitations with regards to the established punishment.I documenti in IRIS sono protetti da copyright e tutti i diritti sono riservati, salvo diversa indicazione.
