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.
