Business managers in ancient Rome

de Jean-Jacques Aubert · Publicada por primera vez en 1994

Business Managers in Ancient Rome deals with the law of indirect agency in the classical period and explores the technical aspects and historical development of a set of praetorian remedies (actiones adiecticiae qualitatis), their role in the economy and their incidence on the society. By bringing together various kinds of evidence (legal, literary, epigraphical, archaeological, numismatic, comparative, and accessorily, papyrological), this study attempts to sketch the social and economic history of an important chapter of the Roman law of obligations.
