Static and Dynamic Aspects of the Roman Family
Stloukalová, Kamila ; Bělovský, Petr (advisor) ; Salák, Pavel (referee) ; Šejdl, Jan (referee)
Static and Dynamic Aspects of the Roman Family Abstract: The thesis deals with Roman family law, the core of the research being the Roman family in the Republican era and the beginning of the Principate. However, the archaic rules of regal period on one hand, and of the period of Dominate or even of the times of Justinian on the other, can also be included to present the overall picture of the development of a certain institution. Three main research goals are outlined in the introduction of the work to be reached throughout the following three chapters. The first goal is to define the term of the Roman family; the second is to connect theory and practice, i.e. so-called law in books and law in action. Therefore, we shall first analyze the legal rules and then compare these theoretical findings with their practical application. The practice shall be ascertained mainly from the non-legal sources of literal or epigraphic character. The third goal is to utilize an interdisciplinary approach, i.e. to use the outcomes, methods, and procedures from the research fields other than legal sciences to deepen our knowledge of the Roman family. The first chapter (Family in Ancient Rome) focuses on the Roman family from different points of view. The polysemous terms familia and domus are analyzed. Familia signifies...

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...
