Custom in Roman Law

Por: Anavitarte, E. J.*

Custom, as a source of Roman law, is the set of uses, traditions, rituals, and other social manifestations, which due to their uniformity and constancy over time, were acquiring legal effects.

This is the oldest of all the sources of Roman law, and its main object of regulation would be private law, especially the way in which the Romans structured their life as a civil society, such as: parental authority, marriage, or wills.

Although it was always a source of law, it was losing influence as the law became written, so it is associated above all with patrician rights, and with the founding of Rome. Having its apogee between the archaic period, and part of the preclassic; before secular law.

It is a long established fact that a reader will be distracted by the readable content of a page when looking at its layout. The point of using Lorem Ipsum is that it has a more-or-less normal distribution of letters, as opposed to using 'Content here, content here', making it look like readable English.
