Ulpian perished by the hands of the soldiers, who forced their way into the palace at night, and killed him in the presence of the emperor and his mother, a.
A great part of the numerous writings of Ulpian were still extant in the time of Justinian, and a much greater quantity is excerpted from him by the compilers of the Digest than from any other jurist.
The number of excerpts from Ulpian is said to be 2462; and many of the excerpts are of great length, and altogether they form about one-third of the whole body of the Digest.

Ulpian's style is perspicuous, and presents fewer difficulties than that of many of the Roman jurists who are excerpted in the Digest.
The easy expression of Ulpian, and the length of many of the extracts from his works, render the study of his fragments a much easier task than that of such a writer as Papinian.
It is generally assumed that Ulpian the Tyrian, who is named in the argument to the Deipnoso-phistae of Athenaeus., is the jurist, because he is called the Tyrian ; but the jurist was not a Tyrian.

 History of Penn Law - Medallions and Inscriptions
Ulpian was probably a pupil and follower of the senior Papinian, and ultimately succeeded him to the office a libellis in 202.
Ulpian’s commentary surpassed the contributions of his contemporary, Paul, and provided a much-needed text to represent the maturation of Roman law in the past centuries.
Ulpian was the first to advocate the principle that, though the emperor is not bound by law, he should abide it nevertheless.

 Cassius Dio & Ulpian
Until rather recently it was almost universally assumed that Ulpian had served as a kind of regent, in fact if not in name, during the first six years or so of Severus Alexander’s reign and thereby furnished the guidance and direction necessary for the smooth functioning of the government.
Ulpian corrected many of the irregularities introduced by Sardanapalus [Elagabalus]; but after putting to death Flavianus and Chrestus, that he might succeed them, he was himself slain ere long by the Praetorians, who attacked him in the night (Dio, 80.2.2).
Ulpian’s tenure of the praetorian prefecture was not, as heretofore assumed, an extended period of regency in which the famous jurisconsult presided over a golden age of reform and enlightened government, but was in fact a very brief period of intense tumult and devastating violence, which very nearly marked the end of the Severan Dynasty.

 David Johnston, 'The General Influence of Roman Institutions of State and Public Law' (1997)
As Ulpian says, "a praetor has no imperium over a praetor nor has a consul over a consul" [39], and the solution, where there is an impasse owing to equality of powers, is to seek assistance from the emperor.
The earliest glossators, applying the statement that the emperor was dominus mundi, Lord of the World [54], to the position of the Italian city-states, reached the conclusion that, as a matter of law, those states must be entirely subject to the power of the emperor, and the emperor must be the sole bearer of imperium.
But this did not mean power without legal limit, since the medieval lawyers invariably followed, not the view expressed in the Digest that the emperor is not bound by the laws, but the rival assertion in the Code that it is worthy of a ruler to profess himself to be bound by them [56].

 Roman Slavery; roman history, roman civilization
Ulpian was considering a legal problem posed by the Roman law that required the seller of slaves to warrantee that the slave was free from any disease or defect.
Ulpian doesn't explicitly contradict this scholar, but his analysis seems to suggest that if the slave could be useful, than the warrantee could be granted.
Ulpian never stops to consider the implications of the analogy between the tongueless slave and horse.

 Athenaeus - LoveToKnow 1911
It is thus a dialogue within a dialogue, after the manner of Plato, but a conversation of sufficient length to occupy several days (though represented as taking place in one) could not be conveyed in a style similar to the short conversations of Socrates.
Among the twenty-nine guests are Galen and Ulpian, but they are all probably fictitious personages, and the majority take no part in the conversation.
If Ulpian is identical with the famous jurist, the Deipnosophistae must have been written after his death (228); but the jurist was murdered by the praetorian guards, whereas Ulpian in Athenaeus dies a natural death.

 The Ancient Roman and Talmudic Definition of Natural Eunuchs
Ulpian declares that "if there be any defect or disease which impairs the usefulness and serviceability of the slave, that is a ground for rescission; we must, however, bear in mind that a very minor flaw will not lead to his being held defective or diseased.
Ulpian ultimately stipulates that "generally, the rule which we appear to observe is that the expression 'defect and disease' applies only to the body...
To recap, the distinction for Ulpian and Paulus is between a eunuch whose capability to procreate is destroyed because he is missing necessary parts of his body, and an anatomically whole eunuch for whom procreation may be psychologically difficult, but is biologically unimpeded.

 EUNUCH
Ulpian states that a eunuch's imperfection, like that of a man with one testicle, does not prevent him from procreating.
These distinctions reflect the fact that, as Ulpian states, "eunuch is a general designation: the term encompasses eunuchs-by-nature, then thladiae and thlibiae, and any other kind of eunuch." Thladiae and thlibiae are derived from words for crushing or abrading, so those words are standing in for the man-made eunuch.
Three provisions in the Code of Hammurabi refer to adoption involving "the son of a girsequ" (eunuch) or "the son of a salzikrum" (a compound word from woman and male).

 Ulpian - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Athenaeus makes 'Ulpian' out to be a grammarian and philologist, characterised by his customary interjections : "Where does this word occur in writing?".
He is represented as a symposiarch and he occupies a couch alone; his death is passed over in silence in Book XV 686 c.
Scholars today agree that Athenaeus's Ulpian is not the historical Ulpian, but possibly his father.

 The Historicity of the Empty Tomb Evaluated: Roman Crucifixion and Jewish Burial
The bodies of those who suffer capital punishment are not to be refused to their relatives (Ulpian) nor to any who seek them for burial (Paulus).
Ulpian traces this attitude back to Augustus in Book 10 of Vita Sua, but he recognizes that the generous granting of bodies may have to be refused if the condemnation has been for treason (maiestas).
The exception was verified a few years before Ulpian in the treatment of the martyrs of Lyons reported in Eusebius (EH 5.1.61-62): The bodies of the crucified Christians were displayed for six days and then burned so that the ashes might be scattered in the Rhone.

 wade
The jus naturale as defined by Ulpian and incorporated into Aquinas’ exposition of natural law is, in the interpretation I am proposing, a duty to do what is ethically right with respect to the nature of the animal (the kind of being the animal is).
Some might object that, while recourse to Ulpian’s sense of natural law makes a nice historical note, he was, of course, unaware of the is-ought distinction of David Hume (1711-1776) and what G. Moore (1873-1958) termed the ‘naturalistic fallacy’.
Yet Ulpian, himself a Roman jurist, interpreted the natural law in terms of a duty to respect the requirements of the nature of animals.

This was needed because in the Severan period, knowledge of the law had become a kind of "porta d'ingresso" to government offices.
Mercogliano inclines to see Ulpian as author of the Liber singularis regularum, the book which then will have been directly epitomized by our fourth-century jurist.
Thus, for example, what one person considers the style particular and appropriate to a Liber regularum, another finds to be simply atypical of Ulpian and resultantly proof that he did not compose the work in question.

Beyond this, however, it seems pretty clear that Gaius was not a direct source, and it may well be that even the similar layout is due to both having followed an older juristic school tradition.
Ulpian's legal skill, in any case, opened doors for him.
So, while Mercogliano has pretty well laid to rest the notion that Gaius may loom large behind the text of the Vatican ms., he will probably not persuade everyone that a book by Ulpian himself is its origin.

After expressing the general principle, Ulpian gives the specific example of a tavern which doubles as a brothel, and points out that its mistress is subject to the opprobrium due to a lena
Ulpian D. 3.2.4.2-3, the other definition of lenocinium in the Digest, provides an extremely close parallel for this interpretation (the context is restrictions on the right to bring legal actions):
But even rents which are derived from the lease of urban properties, will be included [in an estate], although they are derived from prostitution: for brothels are operated even on the properties of many gentlemen.

Mamaea’s right-hand man in the early months was Domitius Ulpianus (Ulpian), a distinguished lawyer and writer.
Ulpian was appointed commander of the praetorian guard and given wide powers.
Ulpian’s downfall came in 223 CE, or early 224, when the praetorians refused to tolerate his execution of Julius Flavianus and Geminius Chrestus, their other commanders.

In the Golden Age of the Imperial Period, Gaius the Jurist was commissioned by Hadrian to draw up a codex of the existing laws of the Roman Empire.
Ulpian, the last of the Roman Jurists of the Imperial period, was killed by the Praetorian guard during the reign of Alexander Severus, 223 A.D. Oil on canvas.
The Emperor Justinian, as sole lawgiver of the Dominate period of Roman law, commissioned Tribonian and Theophilus in 580 A.D. to codify the laws of the Roman people in what is known as the Codex Justinianus, the basis of the civil law as we know it today.

A second edition of Ulpian, thoroughly revised, was published in March 2002 under the title
In this new edition, Tony Honoré brings out the role of Ulpian as a cosmopolitan and egalitarian pioneer of human rights, who embraced the values of liberty, equality and human dignity.
Ulpian dictated his work, which in consequence reads easily and almost conversationally as it moves from one example to another in a way that is familiar to common lawyers.

 Section 1: Eunuchs are able to procreate
As helpful as this statement is, Ulpian ultimately provided an even more explicit, in fact indisputable, proof of the first point of my argument, namely that eunuchs had complete genitals.
Two sentences of Roman law, by themselves, prove that typically eunuchs were able to procreate; they prove that they were not missing any "necessary parts." This was the proof I was looking for.
These distinctions reflect the fact that, as Ulpian states, "eunuch is a general designation: the term encompasses eunuchs-by-nature, then thladiae and thlibiae, and any other kind of eunuch."24

This is the second edition of Tony Honoré's 1982 book on the life and works of Ulpian, the early third-century lawyer from Syria who contributed two-fifths of Justinian's sixth-century Digest, which for many centuries formed the staple of European legal education.
He expounded Roman law to the cosmopolitan society of his time, in which citizenship was extended to all free people in the empire, as a system based on reason and equity designed for people, including slaves, who are by nature free and equal.
The book examines Ulpian's style and method of work, distinguishes genuine works from those falsely attributed to him, and examines his claim that law is the true 'philosophy'.

 Ulpian - Wikipedia
Domitius Ulpianus (* um 170 in Tyros; † 223 in Rom), kurz Ulpian, war ein römischer Jurist, dessen literarische Aktivität in die Zeit zwischen 211 und 222 fällt.
Ulpian trat erstmals in der Öffentlichkeit als Assessor im Auditorium Papinians und Berater des Septimius Severus auf; unter Caracalla war er als magister libellorum für Eingaben an den Kaiser zuständig.
Unter Kaiser Elagabal war er für die Lebensmittelversorgung zuständig, soll jedoch von diesem Herrscher aus Rom verbannt worden sein.

The author of the 1911 Encyclopædia Britannica article states that the details of Papinianus' death "are variously related, and have undergone legendary embellishment."
His output was small compared to other jurists such as Ulpian or Paul.
In the Law of Citations (426) he is classed with Gaius, Paulus, Modestinus and Ulpian as one of the five jurists whose recorded views were considered decisive.

This should serve as a corrective to P. Veyne, who argues that Roman marriage was conceived only as a civic duty, and that conjugal affection was not a significant feature of the arrangement.
The point is especially important as T. shows that the basic definition of matrimonium encompassed conubium, the capacity to marry a Roman citizen, and affectio maritalis, the intention to live as husband and wife: non enim coitus matrimonium facit, sed maritalis affectio (D 24.1.32.13 Ulpian).
If two people had the legal right to matrimonium, then demonstration of marital affection was sufficient to establish the married state (see esp. p.
