Delphidius worked as a Roman advocate during the late empire, known for his vehement prosecution in cases of extortion and his memorable rhetorical style. His exclamation questioning how anyone could be found guilty if denial were sufficient defense captures both the frustrations and the theatrical nature of late Roman legal proceedings.
