Summary/Abstract: The article presents the concept of plagium in two aspects. First of all, the crimen plagii, sanctioned by Lex Fabia during the Republic, is related to the abduction, detention, concealment, sale, exchange, etc. of ingenuus, libertinus or slave. The second part is dedicated to plagiarism as a crime in modern law, but it hadn’t the legal framework in ancient Rome. However, the wrongful appropriation and stealing and publication of another author’s thoughts, ideas, or expressions and the representation of them as one’s own original literarywork was morally reproved and, in some cases, treated as iniuria against the author.
