Summary/Abstract: In the nowadays research about medieval philosophy and theology it is admitted that the augustinian and aristotelian traditions were the two main trends in the theory of dominium. then, to obtain a certain model of medieval dominium, it depends on which order the relation between both traditions relies: for while the augustinian model remarks the question of prop- erty, the Aristotelian one puts the question of power in first place. It is not hard to admit that within the works of thomas aquinas, according to a rational explanation, the explanations of aristotle are preferred over that of augustine. Now, it seems that aquinas’ theory of dominium not only derives from aristotle, but also from the justinian’s Corpus iuris civilis and its italian glossators. So, in order to discuss the augustinian medieval theory of dominium, aquinas not only has turned to the Greek philosopher, but also to the Roman juristic tradition.
