Edition DescriptionRevised edition

SynopsisThis brief survey of Roman law in practice sets the law in its social and economic context, avoiding all unnecessary legal technicalities, and shows its importance for a wider understanding of Roman history. The second edition has been extensively updated and includes a new chapter on crime and punishment., This book explains how Roman law worked for those who lived by it, by viewing it in the light of the society and economy in which it operated. Written in an accessible style with the minimum of legal technicality, the book is designed for students and teachers of Roman history as well as interested general readers. Topics covered include the family and inheritance, property and the use of land, business and commercial transactions, and litigation. In this second edition, all chapters have been extensively revised and updated, and a new chapter on crime and punishment has been included. The book ends with an epilogue covering the fate of Roman law in medieval and modern Europe. David Johnston is a lawyer practising in the courts and draws on his experience of law in practice to shape the work and provide new insights for his readers.
