1.1.1 Roman law
Roman law traditionally spans the period from 753 BC to AD 568. At the beginning of this
period, Rome was a small, relatively primitive state with most of its population living on
farms around the city. Its economy was based mainly on agriculture, with no trade to speak
of. The nucleus of the community was the family with the oldest male ascendant at its head.
Not only was he the sole owner of all the family property, whether acquired by himself or
his dependants, but he was also the holder of all power, including the power of life and
death, over the members of his family and his slaves. The law was correspondingly

From AD 291 attempts were made to codify Roman law and these attempts culminated
in a codification known as the Corpus Iuris Civilis, which appeared during the reign of
Emperor Justinian in the sixth century. Today, this work is still the primary authoritative
source on which South African courts draw when reverting to Roman law to solve a legal
problem.
