Summary/Abstract: From the symbiosis of the indigenous-Dacia system of law and the Roman one, with its divisions “ius civilae”,“ius naturae” and “ius gentium” new institutions became crystallized, specific to both public and private law, which, along with other factors, have defined the important changes undergone by the structure of society in the Carpathian - Danube - Pontic space during the Roman empire occupation. By valorizing the practical sense of the Romans through principles, institutions and legal constructions with a high degree of abstraction and perfection, but also by integrating elements of the legal thinking of the indigenous Geto-Dacians expressed through regulations and local habits, a new system of law was created, one which was influenced by the specific factors of law, thus defining new institutions and regulations of public and private law.
