This book delves into the development of the law of set-off, also known as compensation, in ancient Rome. Compensation involved the deduction of one debt from another and was traditionally only allowed in specific circumstances. The author argues that, before the reforms of the Emperor Marcus Aurelius, set-off was also permitted in certain other situations where the non-consideration of a counterclaim was deemed unfair. The book examines relevant legal texts to support this claim and provides an in-depth analysis of the historical evolution of the law of set-off. The work concludes that the recognition of set-off as a broader legal principle had a significant impact on the fairness and flexibility of Roman law. This book will be of interest to scholars and students of Roman law, legal historians, and anyone interested in the development of legal principles.
