Meaning of fraconiano




Felipe Lorenzo del Río

fraconiano
  19

fraconiano is incorrectly written, and should be written as "draconian" being its meaning: Of Dracon of Thessaly, ruler and Lawgiver of Athens in the 7th century a. d. C., creator of the first written code of laws in the city to be applied equally to rich to poor, nobles to commoners, which was considered rather extreme and excessive for the first, accustomed to own privileges and the irregularities with the poor. Since then law, code, or decree is draconian when it settles and is applied in a very severe way, with harsh penalties. With Dacron and then with Solon begins Greek democracy, based inter alia, on the legal equality of citizens.
