Introductory

As mentioned in the discussion of the Roman law of property, the Romans classified the law of obligations as part of the law of property (ius quod ad res pertinet) insofar as it was concerned mainly with the acquisition and disposal of things.[571] For the purposes of systematization and alignment with the modern approach to the law of obligations it is convenient to treat it as a separate section of private law.

Similar to the Roman law of property, the Roman law of obligations is particu­larly important to the modern lawyer as it forms the basis of much of the modern law of obligations in civil law systems.

It is important to note, however, that the historical descendancy and considerable degree of coincidence between the two can sometimes be misleading, since during the long course of legal history the same concept may have evolved and acquired a different content.
