Synopsis

Unlock the roots of private law in ancient Rome and see how contracts, property, and family rules shaped a civilization’s legal world. This expansive study traces Roman private law from its regal foundations through later reforms, including the XII Tables, Servius Tullius’s changes, and the transition to Justinian’s era. It blends historical context with a close look at legal ideas, the roles of praetors, and the evolving mechanisms that governed everyday rights and obligations.

The book surveys the key themes that built Roman private law, including how property and ownership were understood, how contracts developed, and how family and guardianship rules functioned in different periods. It explains major concepts such as mancipation, servitudes, and the shift from old forms of action to praetorian and later imperial procedures. You’ll also encounter important legal texts, judges, and lawmakers who shaped the system, from the Twelve Tables to post‑classical reforms.

A propos du livre

Présentation de l'éditeur

This book was originally published prior to 1923, and represents a reproduction of an important historical work, maintaining the same format as the original work. While some publishers have opted to apply OCR (optical character recognition) technology to the process, we believe this leads to sub-optimal results (frequent typographical errors, strange characters and confusing formatting) and does not adequately preserve the historical character of the original artifact. We believe this work is culturally important in its original archival form. While we strive to adequately clean and digitally enhance the original work, there are occasionally instances where imperfections such as blurred or missing pages, poor pictures or errant marks may have been introduced due to either the quality of the original work or the scanning process itself. Despite these occasional imperfections, we have brought it back into print as part of our ongoing global book preservation commitment, providing customers with access to the best possible historical reprints. We appreciate your understanding of these occasional imperfections, and sincerely hope you enjoy seeing the book in a format as close as possible to that intended by the original publisher.
