This is an interdisciplinary, edited collection on social science
methodologies for approaching Roman legal sources. Roman law as a
field of study is rapidly evolving to reflect new perspectives and
approaches in research. Scholars who work on the subject are
increasingly being asked to conduct research in an
interdisciplinary manner whereby Roman law is not merely seen as a
set of abstract concepts devoid of any background, but as a body of
law which operated in a specific social, economic and cultural
context. This "context-based" approach to the study of Roman law is
an exciting new field which legal historians must address. Since
the mid-1960s, a new academic movement has advocated a "law and
society" approach to the study of Roman law instead of the
prevailing dogmatic methodology employed in many Faculties of law.
This book aims to further the current debate on the interface
between legal history and ancient history. It brings together a
distinguished group of scholars who will provide different
perspectives on this debate. It addresses particular themes within
this debate such as law and legal practice, law and gender as well
as law and economics.
