Differences in property related status of filiae familias in the light of ius civile during the late Republic and the Principate

Summary/Abstract: The article aims at presenting the specific differences in property related status of the family’s daughter in the Roman agnatic family. To enable such considerations it was necessary to compare legal and property related position of filiae familias and fiilus familias. An analysis of the selected sources of reference, juridical and otherwise, allowed for certain findings. It turns out the status of the family’s son according to ius civile during the late Republic and the Principate was subject to progressive change, which was manifested in the fact he received active legal capacities and limited capacity in law (peculium castrense). With regard to the legal and property related position of the family’s daughter, the regulations of ius civile in the same period did not introduce any changes which would have increased her active legal capacities or her capacity in the law of property. Therefore, in accordance with ius civile, females who were subject to familial authority were deprived of private autonomy.
