Abstract
This paper deals with the original concepts of potestas (of the people gathered
in the assemblies and of the magistrates), auctoritas (of the senate)
and libertas (of the citizens) in Republican Rome and with their evolution
through the Early Empire (where libertas became freedom of speech to the
emperor) and the Later Empire (where the libertas dicendi passed from the
senators to the bishops: St. Ambrose was the exemplary model of this courageous
attitude); at the end of this process the Gelasian doctrine separated
the religious and the political sphere aiming to defend the libertas from
the imperial autocracy, but doing so it paved the way to the substitution of
the mixture of powers of ancient Rome with the separation of powers of
modern times.
