De lege Irnitana: ¿modelo único en las leyes municipales Flavias?

Abstract

The existence of a certain uniformity in municipal regulations of different urban communities has led to raise the existence of a lex generalis that would have served as a framework from which the singular cities would have derived their specific legislation. Links between the leges Salpensana and Malacitana with the lex Irnitana have served to theories that, however, have not evidence in the sources. This paper reviews the most important views to this respect and defends the formation of the various municipal laws in a process based on Roman models under the idea of inclusive policies; the existence of similar or even common to several of them, normative nuclei are proof of the existence of a long experience in municipal legislation that would have been dragging reflexes of previous standards and which, following the Roman way, however, allowed to the singularity of each one of them, but does not confirm the existence of a lex generalis municipalis..
