LEARNING OBJECTIVES: THIS TEACHING WILL INCREASE THE POTENTIALITIES AND THE PECULIARITIES OF THE SUBJECT FOR THE EDUCATION OF A MODERN JURIST. FOR THESE REASONS – ACCORDING TO AN HISTORICAL PERSPECTIVE, WHICH WILL TAKE INTO ACCOUNT THE EVOLUTION OF PRIVATE LAW AND ROMAN TRIAL FROM THE FOUNDATION OF TOME (VIII CENTURY B.C.) UNTIL THE DEATH OF EMPEROR JUSTINIAN (565 A.D.) – PARTICULAR ATTENTION WILL BE GIVEN TO THE CREATIVE ELEMENTS OF THE ROMAN JURIDICAL EXPERIENCE (LEGISLATION, INTERPRETATION, HONORARY ACTIVITY OF MAGISTRATES), ALSO MEANT AS A FOUNDATION OF THE EUROPEAN CIVIL LAW SYSTEM. KNOWLEDGE AND UNDERSTANDING: THE PURPOSE OF THE TEACHING IS TO GIVE THE STUDENTS A GENERAL KNOWLEDGE OF THE MAIN ROMAN PRIVATE LAW AND TRIAL LAW INSTITUTIONS, WHICH CONSTITUTE THE HISTORICAL COMMON ROOTS OF NOWADAYS LAW SYSTEMS BASED ON A CIVIL LAW TRADITION. ABILITY TO APPLY KNOWLEDGE AND UNDERSTANDING: THE PURPOSE OF THE CLASS IS TO TEACH THE STUDENTS TO USE BASIC TOOLS OF HISTORICAL AND LEGAL RESEARCH. IN PARTICULAR, THE TEACHING AIMS AT PROMOTING IN THE STUDENT THE ABILITY TO ANALYZE AND CRITICALLY/DIACRONICALLY INTERPET BOTH ROMAN AND CONTEMPORARY HISTORICAL AND LEGAL SOURCES, WITH SPECIAL REGARD TO THE PRIVATE LAW INSTITUTIONS CREATED BY ROMANS THAT ARE CLOSER TO THE ONES STILL PRESENT IN NOWADAYS LAW SYSTEMS.
