OverviewAI-generated
Ulpian, born Gnaeus Domitius Annius Ulpianus in Tyre in 170, was a male legal counselor and writer from Ancient Rome. A member of the Domitia gens, he served as Praetorian prefect during the Roman Empire. He died in Rome in 228 by homicide. Ulpian wrote in Latin, and his works have been documented in sources such as the Encyclopædia Britannica 11th edition and the Brockhaus and Efron Encyclopedic Dictionary.
His literary output includes titles such as *Domitii Ulpiani quae in primum Digestorum librum migrarunt fragmenta* and *The commentaries of Gaius and Rules of Ulpian*. Various databases list differing counts of his works, with Open Library citing 19, Europeana Sparql citing 8, and Crossref citing 5. He is also referenced by 220 other encyclopedia articles.
Ulpian is associated with several Latin legal maxims, including "Princeps legibus solutus est" and "Iustitia est constans et perpetua voluntas ius suum cuique tribuendi." Other recorded quotes include "Honeste vivere, alterum non laedere, suum cuique tribuere," "Quod principi placuit legis habet vigorem," and "Nulla iniuria est, quæ in volentem fiat."

Quotes
- “It is well known that certain colonies have Italian rights, as, for example, the magnificent colony of Tyre, in Syria of Phoenicia, my birthplace. This city, with its commanding position, great antiquity, and prowess in arms, held tenaciously to the treaty which she had made with the Romans. The divine Severus, our emperor, granted Italian rights to this city as a reward for its signal loyalty toward the republic and the empire of Rome.”
