A quick definition of ius provocationis:

Term: IUS PROVOCATIONIS

Definition: Ius provocationis, also known as jus provocatio, was a right that every Roman citizen had to appeal to the people or the emperor if they were punished by a magistrate without a fair trial. This means that if someone was punished unfairly, they could ask for a second chance to prove their innocence.

A more thorough explanation:

Definition: Ius provocationis is a Latin term used in Roman law that refers to the right of every Roman citizen to appeal to the people in their Comitia or the emperor from the punishment inflicted by a magistrate. This right was granted to protect citizens from summary punishment by the magistrate.

Example: If a Roman citizen was accused of a crime and the magistrate decided to punish them without a fair trial, the citizen could use ius provocationis to appeal to the people in their Comitia or the emperor for a fair trial. This right ensured that citizens were not punished unfairly by the magistrate.

Explanation: Ius provocationis was an essential right granted to Roman citizens to protect them from the arbitrary punishment of the magistrate. This right allowed citizens to appeal to a higher authority for a fair trial and ensured that justice was served. The example illustrates how a citizen could use ius provocationis to appeal to the people in their Comitia or the emperor for a fair trial if they were punished unfairly by the magistrate.
