Summary/Abstract: The doctrine has been discussed about some controversial aspects in relation to so-called Roman classactions (actiones populares), mainly concerning which actions would be considered truly popular, and what their legal nature. Among the theories are the highest expression of Bruns and Fadda, reviewed by Casavola almost half a century later, who heldone of them clash with those of several other authors. Some Casavola´s conclusions were subsequently heavily criticized by Simshäuser. In Digest ( Paul 8 ed ad, D. 47, 23 1) a classactionis defined as: "eam popularem actionem dicimus, quae suum ius populi tuetur." (We callit popular action that defendst he right of the people).
