In questo saggio Franchini illustra la figura di Q. Fabio Massimo, il famoso Temporeggiatore che contrastò Annibale, in rapporto alle dittature che rivestì. Riguardo alla prima dittatura cerca di risolvere il problema posto da una grave antinomia tra le fonti. Riguardo alla seconda, ed assai più importante, dittatura del 217, l’autore affronta la questione dell’elezione popolare del dictator e del magister equitum, che a suo avviso non escludeva la necessità di ricorrere a dictiones di tipo assolutamente tradizionale, per poi sottolineare che quella di Fabio fu una vera magistratura (e non pro magistratura), ossia una dittatura, optima lege (e non interregni causa, quale pur verrà celebrata, senza significato giuridico). Si tratta altresì della legge Metilia, che aggiunse al magister equitum i poteri del dittatore (considerati, però, oggetto di rinuncia possibile), nonché dell’episodio dello scambio dei prigionieri seguito ad un accordo raggiunto col nemico.

Abstract
Franchini illustrates the figure of Q. Fabius Maximus, known as Cunctator, who was opposed to Hannibal, in relation to public offices covered. Regarding the first dictatorship, the author tries to fix the problem posed by a grave contradiction between the sources. Regarding the second, and much more important, dictatorship of the 217, the author takes on the issue about popular election of the dictator and magister equitum, which in his view did not exclude the need to use traditional dictiones. The author, then, underlines how the work of Fabio is to be included as part of a real magistracy (and not pro magistracy), optima lege (and not interregni causa, which will be celebrated even without juridical significance). The author also discussed Lex Metilia, which added to the magister equitum the dictator's powers (though considered possible surrender), as well as the episode of the exchanging of prisoners following an agreement reached with the enemy.File | Dimensione | Formato | |
