Abstract
Este trabajo de investigación tiene por objeto profundizar en el conocimiento de la alta traición en la antigua Roma desde la génesis del delito hasta el final de la República. Para realizar un seguimiento del ilícito hemos convenido en llevar a cabo un seguimiento exhaustivo de todos y cada uno de los procesos que se llevaron a cabo en virtud de dicho delito, y según nos legan las fuentes. Hemos de tener presente que aunque veremos que el nombre del delito cambia, no lo hace su esencia y objetivos: la perduellio es de los más antiguos delitos insertos en el derecho penal romano. Surgida en época monárquica, supondrá el acto de traición de un romano contra sus conciudadanos. Este ilícito no será inmutable y se irá adaptando a la realidad penal de cada momento, y así como en una primera etapa tendrá un componente netamente sacro, salvaguardando la pax deorum, con el tiempo se irá extendiendo la laicidad dentro de los delitos cobijados bajo la perduellio. De un proceso sumario que acababa siempre con la ejecución del reo, pasaremos a ver a lo largo del período republicano cómo se instalan los procedimientos ordinarios para este delito, entendiendo además que la comisión del mismo no fue muy común. Surge ahora la posibilidad generalizada del ius exilii, aplicándose el antiguo procedimiento en casos extremadamente graves y de forma muy excepcional. Primarán en los nuevos procesos ordinarios republicanos la persecución de delitos como seditio o mala praxis militar entre otros...
This research work aims to deepen in the knowledge of high treason in ancient Rome, from the genesis of the crime to the end of the Republic. In order to carry out an evolutionary analysis of the illegal act, we have carried out a meticulous tracking of each and every one of the proceedings taking place under this article as bequeathed to us by the sources. We must keep in mind that although the name of the crime can change, its essence and objectives do not: Perduellio is one of the oldest crimes inserted in Roman criminal law. Developed in monarchical times, it will mean an act of treason of a Roman against his fellow citizens. This illegal act will not be immutable and will adapt to the criminal reality of each moment. While in a first stage it will have a purely sacred component, safeguarding the pax deorum, over time laicism will extend within the crimes sheltered under Perduellio. From a summary proceeding that always ended with the execution of the convict we will see - throughout the republican period - how ordinary proceedings for this illegal act are installed, also understanding that the commission of this illegality was not very common. The widespread possibility of ius exilii now appears, the old procedure still being used in extremely serious cases and very exceptional circumstances. The prosecution of crimes such as seditio or military mala praxis - among others -will be the priority in the new ordinary republican proceedings...
