Can I marry my cousin? What should I do if I catch my wife having an affair? How should I distribute my property among my children? For over 1,000 years, ancient Romans answered these and many other questions key to their daily lives. In doing so, they did not only develop an effective framework to rule an empire with more than 50 million people, but also created one of the most sophisticated legal systems in human history — and one which continues to influence Western jurisprudence today. This course will provide a brief overview of Roman law development, as well as teach students about real Roman laws regarding family, succession and property. By the end of this course, students will even be able to solve some basic cases like a real Roman lawyer/jurist!
