This book fills a gap in the existing selection of Casebooks on Roman private law. Highlights include chapters on individual contracts or types of contracts, such as stipulation, real contracts, sale and the other consensual contracts, plus a series of special problems in this area of the law. The volume offers an unparalleled resource for teaching and research, of interest to classicists as well as to legal and economic historians.
