Introduction to Storia giuridica di Roma

It integrates private law, constitutional structures, normative production (with a focus on jurisprudential developments), and forms of criminal repression into a single, historically-oriented exposition. This comprehensive scope covers the period from the age of kings to late antiquity, combining elements traditionally found in both 'Institutions' and 'History' manuals.
