Abstract
Summary Pro Calatoria Themide. Iusta Case and the Living Conditions of Freed Slaves. The Iusta Case has always been understood as a dispute in which Iusta was claiming her freeborn status (ingenua). Under this conception, however, some unsolved mysteries remain. The author tries to reconstruct the case from the perspective that Iusta was claiming to be a beneficiary of the fideicommissio of Stephanus as one of his freed slaves, by drawing a parallel with D. 34,16,1. Based on this understanding, the documents found in Casa del Bicentenario are, in accordance with Themis’ defence strategy, all in support of Stephanus’ widow who refused to pay the maintenance of the young Iusta for the rest of her life.
