Uncover the legal soul of Ancient Rome in a gripping tale where the courtroom is as dangerous as the battlefield.

Rome, 180 CE. The Empire is at its height, but beneath the surface of the Pax Romana, a different kind of war is being waged: a war of property, debt, and the intricate web of rights that bind one citizen to another.

In Servitus et Pignus, the sixth volume of the acclaimed Roman Law series, Dr. C.P.M. van Houte brings the ancient world to life through the eyes of Trebonius, a brilliant young advocate, and his venerable mentor, Pulvillus. Tasked with navigating the treacherous waters of the Campanian countryside, they must resolve two cases that will define their careers: a bitter dispute over a servitude of light that threatens a family estate, and a high-stakes battle over a debt secured by a prize herd of cattle.

Why readers love the Roman Law Series:

  • Authentic Jurisprudence: Unlike standard historical fiction, this work integrates actual texts from the Digesta and the Institutes of Gaius, making the law a living, breathing character.
  • Socratic Mastery: Experience the thrill of legal discovery through masterful dialogues that explain complex concepts like Ususfructus and Pignus with effortless clarity.
  • Atmospheric Detail: From the dust of the Appian Way to the tension of the iudex's chamber, the world of Marcus Aurelius's Rome is rendered with scholarly precision.
Whether you are a law student seeking to understand the foundations of Western property law or a fan of historical fiction who craves intellectual depth, Servitus et Pignus offers a unique, immersive journey into the Art of the Good and the Equitable.
