Pietate necessitudinis ductae. Settimio Severo, Ulpiano e l'accusatio del tutor suspectus

The article deals with women's entitlement to an accusation towards tutor suspectus. Ulpian states that women moved by pietas of necessitudo, namely the mother, the nurse, the grandmother and the ward's sister, are entitled to bring the accusation. Ulpian claims that are entitled to the accusation also women, different from those mentioned above, if considered by the pretor as moved by pietas and acting within the boundaries of verecundia and without offending the wards.
