Summary/Abstract: The constant need to deny and marginalize the importance of Roman law is a normal phenomenon, not only at the time of the adoption of the most important codifications of civil society, but also in modern times. However, the Roman concepts of property, contracts, obligations and legal theory make these actions unsuccessful. The institutes that emerged from it show its enormous importance in the construction of modern private law. Roman law was the first ius commune and can still serve as a model today, when the unification of law is sought throughout Europe. Because of these values, Roman law represents a universal and civilizing heritage that belongs to the entire modern world.
