Programma

The course analyzes the historical evolution of Roman Private Law from its origins to the Justinian age. The Roman Private Law’s main topics are:
1- Sources of Roman Law (14 h);
2- Facts, acts and legal acts (6 h);
3- Civil procedure (18 h);
4- Individuals and family (6 h);
5- Obligations and contract law (18 h);
6- Ownership, possession, other rights in rem (8 h);
7- Donations (2 h);
8- Inheritance law (8 h).

The main purpose of this course is to determine how and how far Roman law and other legal systems provided a framework, which influenced, and perhaps determined, economic development, social change and political evolution. Strictly related to this, the course addresses whether that development, change and evolution modified the content and procedures of Roman law and other ancient legal systems. Ultimately, how the use of legal evidence may lead to a better understanding of ancient societies, and vice versa.
