Summary/Abstract: This article examines the issue of works of visual art and literature as objects under Roman property law. Examples are provided from Roman legal sources regarding the legal regime of paintings and literary works, including how these works affect and alter the substance of the object on which they are depicted. Examples are presented from the works of classical authors, in which attention is drawn to the problem of presenting others’ literary works as one’s own. The etymology of the concept of plagiarism is traced. The possible sanctions for plagiarism are also examined.
