Schedule
Units courses prerequisite and corequisite
Prerequisite or corequisite units are presented within each program
Learning unit contents
During the Privatissimum, students are required to read two recently published monographs in the field of Roman law and/or legal history.
In addition to reading each book entirely, students are required to prepare a short presentation on a specific passage (determined at the beginning of the term) for presentation to the other participants in the discussion.
A meeting with the author of each monograph is organised at the end of the second term. Students are expected to participate actively in these discussions, in particular by preparing a question for the guest author.
Learning outcomes of the learning unit
At the end of this teaching unit, students will be able to analyse critically and constructively a recent scientific contribution to the field of Roman law and/or legal history, and to formulate their questions and observations to the author of the work selected.
They will also have had the opportunity to broaden their knowledge in these two related scientific fields.
Prerequisite knowledge and skills
Having attended a Roman law and/or legal history course in the past.
Planned learning activities and teaching methods
This year's discussions will focus on the following two works:
- 'Aspects juridiques des sacerdoces féminines à Rome. Étude des sacerdotes et flaminicae d'Occident (Ier s. avant. J.-C.-IVe s. ap. J.-C.)' by Diane Baudoin (2023) ;
- Several excerpts, selected in advance, from 'La loi des XII Tables. Edition et commentaires' by Michel Humbert (2018).
The works will be the subject of discussions between registered students and members of the Roman Law and Comparative Private Law Department during the first term (for Diane Baudoin's work) and the second term (for the extracts from Michel Humbert's work).
For each work, between three and four meetings (depending on the length and difficulty of the work) will be organised per term. Discussions with the guest authors will take place in Naples between between 21 and 26 April 2025.
Each student will be given an excerpt from each work to present at these meetings at the beginning of each term.
