Abstract

In Pro Sestio, Cicero establishes that social collaboration demands dignitas and otium, that is, harmony between the ideal and material values. From our point of view the consensus iuris principle corresponds to the idea of dignitas of Pro Sestio, which presents an idealised view of optimates as Roman citizens. Likewise, communio utilitatis is related to otium. Outside these ideas, the political forces act defying the citizens and their ordinary interests.
