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.
