    This is a captivating study of a less-studied, or at least less-emphasized, aspect of Roman law than Justinian's Code. The author focuses on demonstrating how early Roman political organization relied on the establishment of personal ties between patricians and members of the plebeians, a system we would today call clientelistic. The author also shows that, paradoxically, the period of Roman decline saw this institution weaken in favor of plutocratic organizations that no longer required the same type of relationships. Finally, the author analyzes how this clientelistic logic was integrated into the ethics of the Christian religion during its period of officialization.
