Paperback. Etat : New. Print on Demand. This book delves into the historical and conceptual underpinnings of Roman Law, tracing its development from the earliest legal codes to its sophisticated and influential final form. The author argues that the unique rigor of Roman Law, particularly in its emphasis on civil morality and the avoidance of undue religious or political influence, can be attributed to the institution of infamia, a form of social disgrace that could result from even minor legal infractions. This legal 'double standard' created the need for a 'double system' of law that distinguished between strict legal principlesâ"jusâ"and more flexible, fact-based interpretationsâ"factum. Through a detailed examination of Roman law concepts such as slavery, patria potestas, and the law of obligations, the book demonstrates how the tension between jus and factum shaped the development of Roman Law and its enduring influence on Western legal systems. This book is a reproduction of an important historical work, digitally reconstructed using state-of-the-art technology to preserve the original format.
