Abstract
This paper addresses broad topics and general ideas that overarch the entire Roman legal tradition. They constitute the most distinctive representations of Roman law. Some are original to the Romans, most come from the Greeks, and a few come from other ancient civilizations. The Roman spirit and talent modulated all of them. With different nuances, refinements, and implications, these fundamental topics also embody the key ideas of most Western legal systems.
