Paperback. Condición: New. Print on Demand. Delve into the origins and remarkable evolution of Roman Law, a legal system that has profoundly influenced Western civilization. This book traces its transformation from a rigid and formalistic system rooted in ancient customs to a sophisticated and adaptable legal framework that served as the foundation for modern civil law. The author explores the key factors that shaped Roman Law, including the growth of commerce, the rise of a cosmopolitan outlook, and the contributions of learned jurists. The book also sheds light on the interplay between the traditional jus civile, applicable only to Roman citizens, and the innovative jus gentium, which recognized the rights of non-citizens and incorporated principles of fairness and equity, highlighting the tension between national and universal legal principles. Through a comprehensive examination of legal concepts, historical context, and the enduring legacy of Roman Law, this book provides a valuable resource for students of law, history, and anyone interested in the foundations of modern legal systems.
