The present contribution aims to provide a legal analysis of Act. Ap. 16. 11-24. During their preaching in Filippi, Paolo and Sila were brought to the agora by some Roman colonists, who accused them before the authorities of 'causing great turmoil in the city' and 'disseminating customs' that the Romans were not allowed 'to adopt or practice'. In the light of the peculiar formulation of these accusations and the various scholarly opinions expressed in this regard, this contribution will investigate the legal nature of the charges moved against them and the source of the power of the duumviri of Filippi to sanction the two missionaries.

Abstract

The present contribution aims to provide a legal analysis of Act. Ap. 16. 11-24. During their preaching in Filippi, Paolo and Sila were brought to the agora by some Roman colonists, who accused them before the authorities of 'causing great turmoil in the city' and 'disseminating customs' that the Romans were not allowed 'to adopt or practice'. In the light of the peculiar formulation of these accusations and the various scholarly opinions expressed in this regard, this contribution will investigate the legal nature of the charges moved against them and the source of the power of the duumviri of Filippi to sanction the two missionaries.

El estudio está dedicado al análisis de algunos pasajes de los Hechos de los Apóstoles (Act.Ap. 16. 11-24). Durante la predicación en Filippi, Paolo y Sila fueron llevados al ágora por algunos colonos romanos y acusados ante las autoridades competentes de “poner a la ciudad en gran agitación” y “proclamar costumbres” de que a los romanos no se les permitiría “adoptar o practicar”. La formulación particular de las acusaciones y las numerosas opiniones expresadas al respecto por la doctrina, han sugerido una profundización sobre la naturaleza jurídica de los cargos y sobre qué base, concretamente, los duumviri de Filippi había ordenado la sanción contra los dos misioneros.
