Summary/Abstract: Systematizing the legal rules of Roman law, the author emphasizes that the study and research of the rules of Roman law is not only a starting point for the further development of private law, but also an opportunity to talk about Roman law and to determine its role and place in that process, as well as to answers are given to many questions, starting with the meaning of Roman law in modern legal terminology and ending with the applicability of the institutes of Roman law in the conditions of the modern market economy (the role of Roman institutes of real law, as well as the influence of Roman law of obligations and especially Roman contracts on contracts of modern law). The author emphasizes that only in this way, through the research of the legal rules of Roman law, can one arrive at numerous answers to questions such as those related to the initial foundations in the process of codification of modern law, that is, on whose legal foundations the codifications were made. In this way, in the author’s opinion, we arrive at the essential answer of how much and what is the contribution of Roman law in the creation of modern, first of all, private law, and then we reach an agreement on the question of the justification of Roman law in further legal education at universities.
