The criminal trial is constrained within the bounds set by the indictment filed by the prosecutor. However, as it quite frequently happens, the initial description of the crime in the indictment requires further modifications in the course of the trial. Some of these modifications are rather trivial (date or other quantitative features, venue, etc.) but other, leading to a complete overhaul of the indictment, are quite problematic. As according to the judiciary neither legal qualification nor the de- scription of the indicted crime is binding for the court, only the “historic event” provides bounds for such modifications. Unfortunately, recent Supreme Court rulings seem to be contradictory – some extend the boundaries of modifications to extreme (factual event regardless of its vagueness), while other limit that by claiming that the concept of “historic event” may not be so general to enable a de facto alterna- tive indictment. Has „historic event” as criterion become a pure fiction? Are there any procedural mechanisms to secure the right to defense in case of modifications?

Głównym celem artykułu jest przedstawienie klasycznej procedury skargowej na przykładzie postępowania przed rzymskimi sądami karnymi zwanymi quaestiones perpetuae. Rzymskie postępowanie karne w okresie późnej republiki i wczesnego cesarstwa opierało się o zasadę skargowości, która w kontynentalnych porządkach prawnych jest powszechnie kojarzona z procesem kontradyktoryjnym. Opracowanie składa się z sześciu części: wprowadzenia, krótkiego opisu quaestiones perpetuae, analizy zagadnień przedmiotowych i podmiotowych związanych z oskarżeniem (accusatio, ius accustionis), opisu procedury wnoszenia skargi karnej i podsumowania.
