Description:Headline: An interdisciplinary, edited collection on social science methodologies for approaching Roman legal sources.Blurb: Roman law as a field of study is rapidly evolving to reflect new perspectives and approaches in research.

Since the mid-1960s, a new academic movement has advocated a "law and society" approach to the study of Roman law instead of the prevailing dogmatic methodology employed in many Faculties of law.Key Features:*This book aims to further the current debate on the interface between legal history and ancient history.*It brings together a distinguished group of scholars who will provide different perspectives on this debate.*It addresses particular themes within this debate such as law and legal practice, law and gender as well as law and economics.Keywords: Roman law, ancient history, law and society, law and gender, legal theory, law and legal practice, law and economics.Subject: LawWe have made it easy for you to find a PDF Ebooks without any digging.
