Learning outcomes
The course represents the basic subject of the second pillar of the study programme aimed primarily at developing and deepening the student's knowledge in the Legal History and Roman Law programme. The essence of the course will be the analysis of the theoretical and practical issues of Roman law. Topics will be presented in the seminar and then discussed with the other students and teachers involved. This course, which is a continuation of Roman Law Seminar I. taught in the previous semester, will enable the student to study in depth the institution of Roman law whose research is related to the topic of his/her dissertation. Consultations consist of the analysis of specific historical sources and archival material, in the study of literature and its critical evaluation. The specific output on which the final colloquium will be conducted is determined by the teaching specialist according to the doctoral student's progress in the preparation of the dissertation and written outputs (e.g. translations of sources). The Roman Law Seminar is designed as a two-semester course, with emphasis on selected issues in Roman law each semester. The first semester focuses primarily on a deeper understanding of the general part of Roman law beyond the Master's degree. The second semester will then focus on specific issues of Roman law, particularly with regard to the topics of the students' dissertations.
A deeper understanding of Roman law and its key themes.
