Resum
Quintilian’s Lesser Declamation 360 deals with an insolvent decedent’s estate. Both, the mother in law and the widowed daughter claim back their dowries. The solution to the problem is the favor dotis. The case and its solution give a very good insight into the relationship between rhetoric and jurisprudence in Rome. Both are far more intermingled than the modern Romanist would like them to be. Therefore, the declamation is to be considered a first rate source of Roman law of dowry
