    El presente artículo se centra en la capacidad de las madres viudas para ser tutoras de sus hijos durante el reinado de Diocleciano (284-305 d.C.). El creciente número de rescriptos escritos por mujeres en este periodo nos ha llevado a plantearnos las características de la tutela impuberum (en adelante, tutela) en relación con las madres viudas de esta época. En este trabajo, se delinearán los elementos que caracterizaban la tutela antes del gobierno de Diocleciano, para luego describir los rasgos de esta institución durante su mandato, y así evaluar los posibles cambios existentes en la época. Muchas de las fuentes analizadas constituyen documentos que muestran la interacción entre el sistema legal romano y otros sistemas prevalentes en algunas áreas del imperio. Estas fuentes nos muestran como sujetos privados interactuaban con la autoridad romana, pidiendo soluciones a conflictos que surgían del contacto entre sistemas legales existentes en las diversas zonas de un gran imperio.

    This article focuses on the capacity of the widowed mothers too be guardians of their sons during the reign of Diocletian (284-305 AD). The increasing number of rescripts written by women in this period has led us to consider the characteristics of tutela impuberum (hereinafter, guardianship) for widowed mothers at this time. This work will outline the elements that characterized the guardianship before Diocletian, to later describe the features of this institution during his term, and thus evaluate the possible changes of this at the time. Many of the sources analysed constitute documents that show the interaction between the Roman and other legal systems prevalent in some areas of the empire. These sources show us how private subjects interacted with the Roman authority, asking for solutions to conflicts that arose from the contact between existing legal systems in the various areas of a big empire.
