Synopsis

This book analyzes the development of international law and its principles in ancient Rome. The author, a respected expert in Roman law, argues that there was a recognizable body of international legal principles observed by the Romans and other ancient Mediterranean civilizations. Exploring concepts of justice, legal rights, and the treatment of foreign peoples, the author traces the evolution of these principles from the early days of the Roman Republic through the rise and fall of the Roman Empire. The book draws parallels between the legal principles observed in ancient Rome and those of modern international law, challenging the traditional view that international law is a recent development. This thought-provoking work sheds new light on the historical foundations of international law and its continuing relevance in today's globalized world.
