Synopsis

Explore how ancient Rome handled possession, ownership, and the grim details of property law. This edition dives into the differences between possession and dominium, and explains the Praetorian remedies that shaped early private law.

Drawing on Buckland’s study, you’ll see how interdicts, heres, and bonorum possessio interact in a system where possession does not immediately prove ownership. The text traces the path from provisional control to final judgments, and it clarifies why Romans kept possession and title separate in early procedures. It also explains how later law fused these concepts under Justinian, changing the landscape of property rights.



Ideal for readers who want a clear, historical view of Roman private law, this work clarifies terms, procedures, and the logical questions lawyers faced as they balanced possession, title, and debts.
