* I appeal.
An appeal to the emperor was the right of a Roman citizen, and
was highly respected. The Julian law condemned those
magistrates, and others, as violaters of the public peace, who
had put to death, tortured, scourged, imprisoned, or condemned
any Roman citizen who had appealed to Cesar. This law was so
sacred and imperative, that, in the persecution under Trajan,
Pliny would not attempt to put to death Roman citizens, who
were proved to have turned Christians, but determined to send
them to Rome, probably because they had appealed.
