Servitudes in the Roman Law and in the new Civil Code
Heide-Hermann, Tomáš ; Bělovský, Petr (advisor) ; Falada, David (referee)
The subject of this thesis is a comparison of the provisions of the new Czech Civil Code (Law No. 89/2012 Coll.) concernig servitudes with the selected sources of th Roman law, esp. with the Digest or Pandects of Justinian, with Institutes of Justinian and Institutes of Gaius. If it seems suitable, other national civil codifications, which were influenced by the Roman law, were taken into account. The relevant rules of Roman law are selected, quoted and translated in Czech language (using not only Latin original, but also English and French translations) and set against contemporary law. In each case shall be found out what differences exist between contemporary and Roman law and what can be considered as consistent with Roman law, what can be seen as partly agreeing and what is laid down in a different manner. By means of this approach, the most important questions related to the servitudes and property rights are covered and to the provisions of new Civil Code are assesed as a whole.

Significance of the formalisation of the conception of the roman citizen for the development of roman law
Falada, David ; Skřejpek, Michal (advisor) ; Bělovský, Petr (referee) ; Židlická, Michaela (referee)
As a pre-requisite for the Roman law to come into existence, a community of people had first to emerge; a community identifying itself vis-à-vis its surroundings. Legal norms that came into being in such community, rather simple legal norms at the time of their hypothetical origin, were gradually developed in line with the development of such community throughout the times. The outcome is an elaborated system of Roman law that communicates with us even today. The presented paper endeavours to shed some light at some profound aspects of the formation of the Roman nation on its road to the definition of the Roman citizenship. In the case of the Romans we cannot use simple definition features, such as the language (as the Latin language was shared by other peoples of the ancient Italy) or the religion (as the ancient polytheism intertwined various cultures of the given times) or a territory. The paper offers views into the combinations of the Roman culture with those other ancient cultures that shared numerous aspects with it and that had a formatting effect on it. It also addresses the role of the religion in the formatting process of the original Roman society. The result is an attempt for a definition of the Roman nation, i.e. the personal area serving the creation and development of the Roman law...

The Persecution of Christians in Ancient Rome
Lenský, David ; Skřejpek, Michal (advisor) ; Falada, David (referee)
1 ABSTRACT The topic of this thesis is the persecution of Christians in Ancient Rome. The paper describes historical circumstances that led to the persecution, explains the reasons and social background that made the persecution viable and provides a list of legal instruments that were used by the Roman institutions during the course of the persecution. The early Christian history was marked by the persecutions striving to suppress or even eliminate this newborn religion. Oppression during the times of Roman emperors first occurred in the course of Nero's reign and peaked after Diocletian came to power. It was directed not only to the opposition of Christians to recognize the official cult of the gods, but was also politically motivated because the Roman emperors were not to succumb to the idea of nonconforming citizens. The thesis consists of 8 chapters. The first chapters contains the introduction of the thesis, the second chapter consists of a short digression into the traditional Roman religion describing its characteristical features and the relationship between Roman people and their gods. This chapter also presents some cases of state intervention against different religions and cults. The end of the second chapter deals with the Christianity itself and the way it is different from the traditional...

Legal regulation of the finding under Roman law
Štětinová, Veronika ; Skřejpek, Michal (advisor) ; Falada, David (referee)
The purpose of this thesis is to analyze the issue of the finding under Roman law, as one of the ways of acquiring ownership to a thing. The beginning is dedicated to the description of some specifics of Roman ownership, to its subject and to the ways of acquiring the ownership law at general. The thesis focuses on three main areas - occupation, acquiring the ownership to the abandoned things and the finding of a treasure. Occupation (occupatio) is a way of acquiring the ownership of the nobody's thing via its seizure. The thesis enumerates and describes each category of nobody's things. Attention is payed to the occupation of discovered movables, to the occupation of animals, immovables and to the seizure of things that belong to the enemy. Each of these categories of things has its specifics and it is very important to separate occupation from other ways of acquiring. The next issue is acquiring the ownership to the abandoned things (res derelictae). One have to differentiate between the period of classic Roman law and between the later law from the time of the emperor Justinian. The status of abandoned things in the classical era is not clear, as well as the method for obtaining their ownership. In the time of the codification of the emperor Justinian is the acquiring of abandoned things certainly more...

Capitis deminutio minima
Stloukalová, Kamila ; Skřejpek, Michal (advisor) ; Falada, David (referee)
Capitis deminutio minima The purpose of my thesis is to analyse the institute called the capitis deminutio minima. In this respect, it is primarily necessary to describe the meaning of the word caput for the understanding of the whole topic. The first chapter deals with the explanation of the above-mentioned term. The caput of a human being has in Roman Law three elements: the status of liberty, of citizenship and of family, and the subdivisions of the first chapter correspond to it. There, the first subchapter focuses on the persons who are free and those who are slaves; the latter were not considered to be legal persons at all. The following subchapter characterises the rights and duties of Roman citizens and the situation of the foreigners. The last subchapter contains basic information about the Roman family and its members, who are divided into two cathegories - the sui iuris and the alieni iuris. At the beginning the text describes the position of the head of the family (the pater familias), and his powers. The following text examines the conditions of those who are subjected to the authority of the pater familias. The last part of the text demonstrates the importance of religion in the daily life, both for the family and the whole society. The second chapter contains the description of the capitis...

Judicial Responsibility and Limits of the Decision-making Process in Roman Law
Havel, Tomáš ; Skřejpek, Michal (advisor) ; Falada, David (referee)
The aim of the thesis is to highlight various legal institutions which have carried over into modern times from Roman law and at the same time to provide a historical perspective for the on-going discussion about the changes in contemporary Czech justice. The main subject of the thesis is the responsibility of a judge and the limits of the judge's actions during the period of Roman republican law. Although the primary focus of the thesis is civil law, excursions into penal law as well as into the law of the Roman Empire are necessary in order to maintain the integrity of the text.

Crimen falsi and related facts of crimes
Ullmann, Jan ; Falada, David (referee)
Thesis title: Crimen falsi and related facts of crimes This thesis with the name "Crimen falsi and related facts of crimes", represents the complex analysis of a development of four mutually very closely interconnected crimes - crimen falsi (the crime of deceit), crimen repetundarum (the crime of abuse of official authority to the personal profit), peculatus (the crime of theft of a public or sacred property) and stellionatus (the residual crime, including any other deceitful act), three public crimes and one extraordinary crime, which can not be classified as crimen, nor as delictus. This thesis starts with the analysis of development of roman criminal law in the age of kings, where the author researches beginnings of the criminal process and the legislation of crimes, which can be described as predecessors of analysed crimes. In the time of the early Roman republic and institutioning of the Law of the twelve tablets is the research of beginnings of analysed crimes supported by the analysis of individual criminal proceedings, within which were judged crimes, which were later parts of factual bases of analysed crimes. Crucial part of the thesis is the analyse of legislation on analysed crimes from the time of the territorial and power growth of the Roman republic, mainly in the first century before...

Bayer, Tomáš ; Falada, David (advisor) ; Bělovský, Petr (referee)
(resumé) The Concept of Legal Subjectivity in Roman law The goal of this thesis is to present the concept of legal subjectivity and legal capacity in Roman law and to demonstrate how this subject is connected with essential issues in Roman law such as citizenship, personal freedom and personal status. The first part of the thesis introduces the concept of legal subjectivity and offers definitions and descriptions of legal subjectivity and legal capacity provided by reputable legal experts and historians. The second part of the thesis focuses on the legal subjectivity of natural persons and consists of several chapters which further elaborate on specific subchapters to the main topic of the second part; specifically: citizenship, personal freedom, slavery and personal status in the Roman family. The concept of Capitis Deminutio, which is so specific to Roman law and non existent in modern legal systems, is also discussed in this part of the thesis. The second part also attempts to shed light on the abundantly discussed topic of the legal position of women in Roman society My endeavour was to point out that laws governing women, which would be considered discriminatory by today's lawyers, were functional and naturally accepted in Roman society. An explanation of the Roman legal institutions of...
