Description
Law in the Ancient World Russ VerSteeg ISBN 9780890899762
Law in the Ancient World explores the legal ideas, institutions, and systems developed by the ancient civilizations of Mesopotamia, Egypt, Greece, and Rome. Drawing on historical documents, literature, and legal records, the book provides a broad view of how law functioned within these early societies. It analyzes how social, religious, cultural, and political influences shaped both the procedures and the substance of ancient legal systems. The text is organized into four main sections: Early Mesopotamian Law, Law in Ancient Egypt, Law in Classical Athens, and Roman Law.
Each section contains three chapters. The first chapter begins with an overview that presents the essential historical background and introduces the role of law within the society, including the philosophical foundations of justice. The second chapter examines the development of judicial systems, explaining the different types of courts, judges, and procedures used to administer justice for both citizens and foreigners. The third chapter focuses on the substance of the law, covering areas such as personal status, property, family law, inheritance and succession, torts, criminal law, and commercial transactions.
To illustrate the complexity and sophistication of ancient legal systems, the book draws on a wide range of historical sources, including early law codes, land records, wills, sales contracts, court accounts, and works of ancient literature. It also highlights influential legal compilations such as Justinian’s Corpus Iuris Civilis, demonstrating the depth and development of legal thought in the ancient world.
