Gesetzesrecht in Rom

Zusatztext

'Statutory Law in Rome. A Debate Contribution': It has long been commonly believed that Roman legislation focused primarily on marginal issues and was guided by motives foreign to private law. This prejudice does not stand up to critical review. Although the density of regulations varies greatly from one area of law to another, the consistent finding is that, beyond the marriage law reform of Augustus, which is responsible for its unfavourable image, Roman legislature generally strives to achieve a fair balance of interests.
