This is a sociolegal study of the role of the Roman familia in legal and commercial transactions in classical times. The Roman family included slaves and freedmen as well as wives, children and relatives and it served as the basis for a considerable type of legal and quasi-legal activities. In this study, socio-economic data shed light on the law and legal rules illuminate aspects of the extended family.

Sons, slaves and freedmen in Roman commerce

Sons, slaves and freedmen in Roman commerce is a sociolegal study of the role of the Roman familia in legal and commercial transactions in classical times. The Roman "family" included slaves and freedmen as well as wife, children, and relatives; and it served as the basis for a considerable type of legal and quasi-legal activities. In this study, socio-economic data shed light on the law, and legal rules illuminate aspects of the extended family. Prof. Alan Watson of the University of Pennsylvania Law School writes in his preface: The book has implications of great consequence to students of American slavery. The core ... deals with institutions which are posited on the belief that, as human being's, slaves are the equal of born citizens in business acumen, and that they can behave in similar ways." Thus, this book is of interest not only to students of ancient law and the classics, it provides much for sociologists and historians especially interested in the interplay of law and society.

AARON KIRSCHENBAUM is Professor of Law at Tel Aviv University Law School in Israel. He studied Roman Law under A. Arthur Schiller at Columbia University.
