Law is a specific form of social regulation distinct from religion, ethics, and even politics, and endowed with a strong and autonomous rationality. Its invention, a crucial aspect of Western history, took place against the backdrop of the Roman Empire's gradual consolidation. Schiavone reconstructs this development with clear-eyed passion.
