“[…] DUAE SUNT POSITIONES, PUBLICUM ET PRIVATUM”: A PROPOSITO DELLA CRESCITA DELLA CIVITAS E DELLA CENTRALITA’ DELL’UOMO NEL SISTEMA GIURIDICO ROMANO
“[…] DUAE SUNT POSITIONES, PUBLICUM ET PRIVATUM”: ABOUT THE GROWTH OF CIVITAS AND THE CENTRALITY OF MAN IN THE ROMAN LEGAL SYSTEM

Summary/Abstract: This paper aims to show as the distinction between ius publicum and ius privatum expressed by Ulpian in D. 1.1.1.2 has to be interpreted in the light of the unceasing interlocution which the duae positiones of the studium iuris are supposed to. Such interlocution clearly emerges from the analised sources and it is linked on one side to the concept of utilitas and on the other side to the unitarism of the Roman juridical system (ars boni et aequi). Furthermore, survey shows that the constant intertwining between ius publicum and ius privatum is justified by something deeper: by the need to ensure the increase of civitas and by the central role of human being as regards the scientific development of the Roman Jurists.
