Book Description:

In the regal period there did not yet exist the custom, inherent in the Republican system, of making power submit to the law. On the contrary, the king was even depositary of the ius, including the ius sacrum, since the priests were simply those who officiated the cult. With the advent of the Republic, such prerogatives were kept, adapting to the times, by the highest magistrate.
