The course of Institutions of Roman Law aims to provide students with the knowledge of the Roman private law, in the more general context of Roman legal history (the history of the Roman sources of law and constitution). In order to enhance both the systemic and institutional perspective, the institutes will be studied in their formation and in their evolution, as a product of the Roman law (in particular, by the ancient popes up to the lawyers Severan), of magistrates (in particular the pretor) and legislation (from seizure legislation up to the imperial one). Then we will observe the crystallization of the same institutions in that network of abstract concepts and categories which constitute, even in the present, the backbone of the legal systems of positive private law. During the course we will cover in particular the Roman trial, the law of property, the law of obligations, family law and inheritance law, in a continuous contact with the sources.
