The paper is devoted to a consideration of the distinguishing characteristics of a city as a powerful actor within the international legal framework that has been formed over decades and centuries of world history. The development of cities, their economic growth and hierarchization of social structures has led towards the division of labor, the nature of urban leadership provoking political revolution, and the formation of city states as well as the mutual impact between a state and a city. Thereafter, the problem of their loss of autonomy and independence because of their inability to cope with problems of a transnational nature dominated by threats, and how demographic changes are dealt with are a vital part of this work.

The Bologna archives preserve the bye-laws of 24 „armed societies”, dating from between 1230 and the early 1300s, written in good notary Latin. Though known to exist in other Italian city-states, only few non-Bolognese armed society bye-laws are preserved. These armed societies had disappeared everywhere by the Late Middle Ages. This article explores the function of these armed societies and the feudal law aspects of the bye-laws - was their function predominantly military, social or political? Why did they suddenly appear, and just as suddenly disappear? How did they fit into Bologna’s constitution - how did they relate to the civic authorities, the guilds? How did these armed societies operate? Who were the members? What arms did they have? Did they participate in the warfare between the city-states, the battles of the Lombard League and the Holy Roman Empire, the struggles between the Emperor and the Pope, the feuds between the Ghibellines and the Guelphs?

The period sees the transition of the ordinary fighter from feudal levy, yeoman or city burgher militia, to subject in an absolute polity, to today’s concept of the free citizen in a democratic state. In the period, the Swiss Confederacy was the only major polity that was not monarchical, but republican, and at the same time eschewed a standing army in favour of continued reliance on militia throughout. A commonwealth’s military organisation is clearly one of fundamental importance to its own understanding of the nature of rule - its “constitution”. The article traces the transition and relates it to the concept of government under the different theories of the period.

Theological heritage of Thomas Aquinas isn’t based merely on systematical considerations of Christian doctrine, but also on many biblical commentaries. The biblical proclamation, which was subjected to proper medieval hermeneutic, is primary inspiration and necessary element of Thomas’ theology in all their branches, including likewise ecclesiology. Based on the text of commentary on Epistle to Ephesians in this paper is presented an outline of Aquinas’ theology of the Church. Due to analysis of crucial theological notions like: unity, Mystical Body of Christ, house, city-state, it is revealed an image of ecclesial community, which Thomas Aquinas draws from St. Paul’s exhortation and features as part of theological consideration. In this approach the unity of Christian represents ontological aspect, that means the way of community’s existence and goal of this existence, which isn’t an ultimate aim for the members but source to it. The unity is this an element in Aquinas ecclesiology, which binds all images of Church with themselves. Through the organic bound of peace in relationships and spiritual bound of faith the ecclesial community comprises the Mystical Body of Christ. The members in Mystical Body are united by the power of Head, namely Christ’s grace in the actual or possible way and different levels of personal union. The soul of Mystical Body is Holy Spirit, who fills up members by spiritual gifts, virtues and charisms coming from Christ and showing in concrete fellows, with concrete dispositions and abilities. So, if the Church exists in these christened people also express its second human nature, which has social and political aspects represented by visions of house (as family) and city-state. These ecclesiological perspectives, which also pay attention to particular aspects of Christ’s community, isn’t merely interesting, but up-to-date too and important for deeper understanding of Thomas Aquinas theological thoughts.
