Summary/Abstract: The basic subject in this labor is delict of Roman law compara-ble to the modern offence of theft – furtum. The nature of the topic dictates the use of both chronological and comparative analysis of Roman private and Ro-man public law. Furthermore, attention is drawn to delicta publica (crimina) - those behaviors that are directed against public order. Moreover, we study more detailed one of the prohibited human behavior - furtum through certain periods of development of the Roman state. In the second part of the paper, the focus will be on legal remedies, starting with actio furti and other means of legal protection available to the victim. It is important and also one of the goals in this labor to point out many similarities that furtum has with theft in positive law.
