18 BOOKS ON ROMAN LAW

1. ROMAN SOCIETY AND ROMAN LAW IN THE NEW TESTAMENT - A. N. SHERWIN-WHITE

These lectures are about the Hellenistic and Roman Setting, and especially the legal and administrative and municipal background, of Acts and the synoptic Gospels. 

2. OBLIGATIONS IN ROMAN LAW: PAST, PRESENT, AND FUTURE - THOMAS A. J. MCGINN

Drawn from a conference convened by the volume's editor at the American Academy in Rome addressing these concerns and others, this volume investigates in detail the Roman law of obligations — a subset of private law — together with its subordinate fields, contracts and delicts (torts). A centuries-old and highly influential discipline, Roman law has traditionally been studied in the context of law schools, rather than humanities faculties. This book opens a window on that world.

3. ROMAN LAW IN CONTEXT - DAVID JOHNSTON

This book explains the rules of Roman law in the light of the society and economy in which it operated. The main topics discussed are the family and inheritance, property and the use of land, commercial transactions and the management of businesses, litigation and how easily the Roman citizen could assert his or her legal rights in practice. 

4. LAW AND CRIME IN THE ROMAN WORLD - JILL HARRIES

This book explores competing legal and extra-legal discourses in a number of areas, including theft, official malpractice, treason, sexual misconduct, crimes of violence, homicide, magic and perceptions of deviance. 

5. LAW IN THE ROMAN PROVINCES - KIMBERLEY CZAJKOWSKI, BENEDIKT ECKHARDT, MERET STROTHMANN

This volume brings together internationally renowned scholars from both legal and historical backgrounds to study the operation of law in each region of the Roman Empire, from Britain to Egypt, from the first century BCE to the end of the third century CE. 

6. LAW, LANGUAGE, AND EMPIRE IN THE ROMAN TRADITION - CLIFFORD ANDO

Ando studies the processes through which lawyers at Rome grappled with the legal pluralism resulting from imperial conquests. He focuses primarily on the tools—most prominently analogy and fiction—used to extend the system and enable it to regulate the lives of persons far from the minds of the original legislators, and he traces the central place that philosophy of language came to occupy in Roman legal thought.

7. THE CAMBRIDGE COMPANION TO THE ROMAN REPUBLIC - HARRIET I. FLOWER

The Cambridge Companion to the Roman Republic examines all aspects of Roman history and civilization from 509 to 49 BC. The key development of the republican period was Rome's rise from a small city to a wealthy metropolis, which served as the international capital of an extensive Mediterranean empire.

8. LAW & EQUITY: APPROACHES IN ROMAN LAW AND COMMON LAW - E. KOOPS (EDITOR), W.J. ZWALVE (EDITOR)

In Law & Equity: Approaches in Roman Law and Common Law, seven specialists explore the origins and consequences of this interaction.

9. NEW FRONTIERS: LAW AND SOCIETY IN THE ROMAN WORLD - PAUL J. DU PLESSIS

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.

10. THE ROMAN LAW TRADITION - A. D. E. LEWIS, D. J. IBBETSON

The law developed by the ancient Romans remains a powerful legal and political instrument today. In The Roman Law Tradition a general editorial introduction complements a series of more detailed essays by an international team of distinguished legal scholars exploring the various ways in which Roman law has affected and continues to affect patterns of legal decision-making throughout the world.

11. ROMAN LAW IN THE STATE OF NATURE: THE CLASSICAL FOUNDATIONS OF HUGO GROTIUS' NATURAL LAW - BENJAMIN STRAUMANN

This fascinating new study offers historians, classicists and political theorists a fresh account of the historical background of the development of natural rights, natural law and of international legal norms as they emerged in seventeenth-century early modern Europe. 

12. PUBLIC LAND IN THE ROMAN REPUBLIC: A SOCIAL AND ECONOMIC HISTORY OF AGER PUBLICUS IN ITALY, 396-89 BC - SASKIA ROSELAAR

In the first volume in this new series on Roman society and law, Saskia T. Roselaar traces the social and economic history of the ager publicus, or public land. As the Romans conquered Italy during the fourth to first centuries BC, they usually took land away from their defeated enemies and declared this to be the property of the Roman state. This land could be distributed to Roman citizens, but it could also remain in the hands of the state, in which case it was available for general public use.

13. THE CAMBRIDGE COMPANION TO ROMAN LAW - DAVID JOHNSON (EDITOR)

This book reflects the wide range of current scholarship on Roman law. The essays, newly-commissioned for this volume, cover the sources of evidence for classical Roman law; the elements of private law, as well as criminal and public law; and the second life of Roman law in Byzantium, in civil and canon law, and in political discourse from AD 1100 to the present. 

14. THE OXFORD HANDBOOK OF ROMAN LAW AND SOCIETY - PAUL J. DU PLESSIS, CLIFFORD ANDO, KAIUS TUORI

The Handbook is intended to survey the landscape of contemporary research and chart principal directions of future inquiry. Its aim is to bring to bear upon Roman legal study the full range of intellectual resources of contemporary legal history, from comparison to popular constitutionalism, from international private law to law and society. This unique contribution of the volume sets it apart from others in the field.

15. A SHORT HISTORY OF ROMAN LAW – OLGA TELLEGEN – COUPERUS

The most important creation of the Romans was their law. In this book, Dr Tellegen-Couperus discusses the way in which the Roman jurists created and developed law and the way in which Roman law has come down to us. Special attention is given to questions such as `who were the jurists and their law schools' and to the close connection between jurists and the politics of their time.

16. ROMAN LAW AND COMMON LAW: A COMPARISON IN OUTLINE - W. W. BUCKLAND, ARNOLD D. MCNAIR

The book remains in this edition a 'comparison in outline'. It does not set out to be a comprehensive statement of Roman Law and Common Law comparatively treated, or a comparative study of legal methods. It is concerned rather with the fundamental rules and institutions of the two systems, and examines the independent approaches of the two peoples and their lawyers to the same facts of human life.

17. ROMAN LAW IN EUROPEAN HISTORY - PETER STEIN

Roman Law in European History is unparalleled in depth, lucidity and authority, and should prove of enormous utility for teachers and students (at all levels) of legal history, comparative law and European Studies.

18. ROMAN LAW AND THE ORIGINS OF THE CIVIL LAW TRADITION – GEORGE MOUSOURAKIS

This unique publication offers a complete history of Roman law, from its early beginnings through to its resurgence in Europe where it was widely applied until the eighteenth century. Besides a detailed overview of the sources of Roman law, the book also includes sections on private and criminal law and procedure, with special attention given to those aspects of Roman law that have particular importance to today's lawyer.
