The AIST unit of Salerno aims to set up the study of Late Antiquity by promoting the verification of the connections between Roman law and other branches of knowledge (economic and social history, geopolitics, sociology, anthropology, philosophy, art, linguistics) and in particular by subjecting to careful analysis the various problems that also involve categories, principles and rules of current law. Not only Italian and European.
With regard to the purposes pursued by our section for the years 2024 – 2025, the Salerno unit, after having launched the study project on ‘Il volere nelle fragilità’, is collecting contributions that will contribute to forming a special issue of the TSDP magazine, dedicated to the legal relevance recognized in the law of the imperial age to the will and consent expressed by fragile and vulnerable people, so in particular young people, the disabled, the poor, the sick, women. An upcoming study meeting, scheduled for May 2024, on the protection of assets of artistic and cultural value in Late Antiquity, on which Prof. Lorenzo Franchini will give a lecture. In addition, a day on ‘La formazione del giurista europeo’ is being planned, aimed at drawing students ’
attention to the value of legal figures, rules, categories and principles developed in the course of our legal tradition, as crystallized in the Justinian compilation.
