Description

The paper aims to examine the development of late antique legislation on orphan- ages and their administrators, starting from some constitutions of Leo (C. 1.3.31; 34). It shows how the rules initially provided for Constantinople alone were extended by Justinian (especially in Nov. Iust 131) to the whole empire. This drafting technique reveals a clear Kaiseridee: the emperor is the main defender of the orphans.
