Description

Since the mid-1960s, a new academic movement has advocated a context-based, law and society approach to the study of Roman law instead of the prevailing dogmatic methodology. Scholars who work on the subject are increasingly being asked to see Roman law as a body of law which operated in a specific social, economic and cultural context. This interdisciplinary collection focuses on three larger themes which have emerged from these studies: Roman legal thought, the interaction between legal theory and legal practice and the relationship between law and economics.
