OFFENCE AGAINST PROPERTY IN ROMAN LAW

Abstract

Having in mind the obvious fact of the unjustified
marginalization of Roman ius publicum and its institutions, this paper is
dedicated to a small segment of this field, specifically referring to certain
institutes of Roman criminal law.
Beside certain basic issues regarding the differentiation of ius
publicum and ius privatum as an introduction to the topic, this paper
concerns the essential issues in the area of Roman criminal law.
However, its focus is on the separate review of separate offences that can
be categorized in the group of offences against property.
As in all cases of studying the institutes of Roman law, the final
objective of the author is to argue and indicate on the strong relationship
between the old Roman and positive legal solutions in almost all areas of
law.
