摘要：The main aim of science seems to be the approximation of the ordinary readers to the problems of the surrounding world (this aim is common either for natural science, social science, and humanities or any other kind of science). Every book or article then, which approximates an ordinary reader to the unknown matters (and does not require any professional training), is particularly important. A work that definitely accomplishes this main aim of science is a new book written by Maciej Jońca, Ph.D who is a lecturer in Chair of Roman law at the Faculty of Law, Cannon Law and Administration at the Catholic University of Lublin (Poland). His Głośne rzymskie procesy karne (i.e. Famous Roman Criminal Trials) is an extraordinary achievement of this young scholar. The author discusses the problems of the Roman criminal litigation (a very intractable but interesting issue) in an exceptionally clear way.
