Sumario:This paper analyzes violence in the Late Roman Republic as a result of the political confrontations of the time. In this context, the different “emergency powers” (senatus consultum ultimum, hostis declaration, tyrannicide) are reviewed as an extreme product of those confrontations. Finally, a comparative exercise is proposed between ancient Rome and the present day regarding the so-called Enemy Criminal Law, around the debate on the absolute validity (or not) of civic and human rights in any political or judicial situation.
