The current expressions penal servitude/slavery have an antecedent in the Latin servitus poenalis, which in its turn is connected to servus poenae, the term applied by Roman jurists to those condemned for a capital crime for which the penalty was death, or capital punishments equated to death such as lifelong hard labour in the mines. The paper addresses the reception of the concept and terminology of servus poenae in the early modern age focusing especially on Grotius, Noodt and Heineccius.File in questo prodotto:
