NEL PRISMA DEGLI STUDI SUL PROCESSO ROMANO IL DISSIDIO SCIENTIFICO TRA MORIZ WLASSAK E PHILIPP LOTMAR

Abstract

The great scholar of the Roman private trial Moriz Wlassak (1854-1939) also dealt with the criminal trial, denying the existence of the litis
contestatio in the iudicia publica. Philipp Lotmar’s reasoned criticisms (1850-1922) did not dissuade him. Indeed, in 1920 Wlassak spikedly replied
to Lotmar that, now in poor health, he did not react. After a hundred years, the diatribe, of which historiography has tacitly recognize
Wlassak as the winner, continues to remain open on the scientific level, confirming the reconstructive difficulties that every study in the field of
process encounters.
