Roman Private Law Around 200 B.C. by Alan Watson Pdf
Around 200 BC Rome which had been the greatest force in Italy became the greatest power in the Mediterranean. The law of the time stands poised between the archaic rules of the XII Tables of 451 BC and the complex flexible system of the very late Republic. The general picture of this law and much detail can be reconstructed both from the rather scanty direct evidence and from earlier and later materials. That odd combination of sophistication and crude vigour, so charecteristic of the period, is as visible in the law as in the wars of conquest and the plays of Palutus. The author has devoted more than ten years of research to the elucidation of private law in the last two centuries of the Roman Republic and has published his conclusions in several books and articles. Here he presents the law as it was at the bebinning of that period.
Fundamentals of Roman Private Law by George Mousourakis Pdf
Roman law forms a vital part of the intellectual background of many legal systems currently in force in Continental Europe, Latin America, East Asia and other parts of the world. Knowledge of Roman law, therefore, constitutes an essential component of a sound legal education as well as the education of the student of history. This book begins with a historical introduction, which traces the evolution of Roman law from the earliest period of Roman history up to and including Justinian's codification in the sixth century AD. Then follows an exposition of the principal institutions of Roman private law: the body of rules and principles relating to individuals in Roman society and regulating their personal and proprietary relationships. In this part of the book special attention is given to the Roman law of things, which forged the foundations for much of the modern law of property and obligations in European legal systems. Combining a law specialist's informed perspective with a historical and cultural focus, the book provides an accessible source of reference for students and researchers in many diverse fields of legal and historical learning.
The History of Law in Europe by Bart Wauters,Marco de Benito Pdf
Comprehensive and accessible, this book offers a concise synthesis of the evolution of the law in Western Europe, from ancient Rome to the beginning of the twentieth century. It situates law in the wider framework of Europe’s political, economic, social and cultural developments.
Roman Law: An Introduction offers a clear and accessible introduction to Roman law for students of any legal tradition. In the thousand years between the Law of the Twelve Tables and Justinian’s massive Codification, the Romans developed the most sophisticated and comprehensive secular legal system of Antiquity, which remains at the heart of the civil law tradition of Europe, Latin America, and some countries of Asia and Africa. Roman lawyers created new legal concepts, ideas, rules, and mechanisms that most Western legal systems still apply. The study of Roman law thus facilitates understanding among people of different cultures by inspiring a kind of legal common sense and breadth of knowledge. Based on over twenty-five years’ experience teaching Roman law, this volume offers a comprehensive examination of the subject, as well as a historical introduction which contextualizes the Roman legal system for students who have no familiarity with Latin or knowledge of Roman history. More than a compilation of legal facts, the book captures the defining characteristics and principal achievements of Roman legal culture through a millennium of development.
