The Institutes Of Roman Law

The Institutes are a complete exposition of the elements of Roman law and are divided into four books—the first treating of persons and the differences of the status they may occupy in the eye of the law; the second-of things, and the modes in which rights over them may be acquired, including the law relating to wills; the third of intestate succession and of obligations; the fourth of actions and their forms. For many centuries they had been the familiar textbook of all students of Roman law.

An indispensable reference to Roman Law, with an introductory essay by Erwin Grueber of Balliol College, Oxford.

"AD 81. Agricola, the ruthless governor of Roman British is intent on capturing the last unconquered territory in Britain - Alba, Scotland." "Rhiann is an Alban priestess and princess who submitted to a political marriage to Eremon, an exiled Irish prince. Out of duty, grew love - a powerful and desperate love that will bind them together through conflict and betrayal. Now in them lies the hope of a nation. for Agricola's army is formidable - brilliantly armed and heavily supported. To the people of Alba it is a wall of steel and fire advancing across their homeland, bringing with it desolation." "The predestined day draws near: the armies of Alba and Rome will meet in an epic battle to decide the fate of a country. Rhiann searches for guidance in the spirit world, little realising how big a part she will play in this endgame. Eremon knows only that he must risk - and sacrifice - many lives, perhaps even his own."--BOOK JACKET.
