Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from Reflections on the Rise and Fall of the Ancient Republicks: Adapted to the Present State of Great Britain Plutarch takes notice of a very remarkable law os Solon´s, "which declared every man infamous, who in any sedition or civil dissention in the state, should continue neuter, and refuse to side with either party". Aulus Gellius, who gives a more circumstancial detail of this uncommon law, affirms the penalty to be" no less than confiscation of all the effects, and banishment of the delinquent". Cicero mentions the same law to his friend Atticus, and even makes the punishment capital, though he resolves at the same time not to conform to it under his present circumstances, unless his friend should advise him to the contrary.
