Roman law forms an important part of the intellectual background of
many legal systems currently in force in continental Europe, Latin
America and other parts of the world. This book traces the
historical development of Roman law from the earliest period of
Roman history up to and including Justinian's codification in the
sixth century AD. It examines the nature of the sources of law,
forms of legal procedure, the mechanisms by which legal judgments
were put into effect, the development of legal science and the role
of the jurists in shaping the law. The final chapter of the book
outlines the history of Roman law during the Middle Ages and
discusses the way in which Roman law furnished the basis of the
civil law systems of continental Europe. The book combines the
perspectives of legal history with those of social, political and
economic history. Special attention is given to the political
development of the Roman society and to the historical events and
socio-economic factors that influenced the growth and progress of
the law. Designed to provide a general introduction to the history
of Roman law, this book will appeal to law students whose course of
studies includes Roman law, legal history and comparative law. It
will also prove of value to students and scholars interested in
ancient history and classics.
