Abstract:
In this paper comparison of the provisions of Roman property law in the Institutes of Gaius and the Institutes of Justinian has been made. The aim of this paper is to find out which provisions of the Institutes of Gaius were reciprocated in the Institutes of Justinian, and which were not, and whether certain provisions were taken with modification and what the modification consists of. In this way, it will be determined which institutes of Roman property law remained unchanged until Justinian’s time, which underwent changes, and which, due to changes in social relations, don’t exist anymore. The comparative method will analyze the most important legal concepts and institutes of Roman property law from the Institutes.
Keywords:
