ROMAN LAW IN CONTEXT
Roman Law in Context explains how Roman law worked for those
who lived byit, byviewing it in the light of the societyand economy
in which it operated. The book discusses three main areas of
Roman law and life: the familyand inheritance; propertyand the
use of land; commercial transactions and the management of busi-
nesses. It also deals with the question of litigation and how readily
the Roman citizen could assert his or her legal rights in practice. In
addition it provides an introduction to using the main sources of
Roman law. The book ends with an epilogue discussing the role of
Roman law in medieval and modern Europe, a bibliographical
essay, and a glossary of legal terms. The book involves the
minimum of legal technicalityand is intended to be accessible to
students and teachers of Roman historyas well as interested
general readers.
