LEX Podcast. Episode 5: Slaves, the marble floors of Roman society
Slavery in ancient Rome was not merely a social condition—it was a foundational legal institution. In this episode we see how Roman law defined, justified, and regulated slavery through the ius gentium, despite its conflict with ius naturale. From birth and war captivity to legal penalties and economic transactions, slavery permeated every layer of Roman society.

Have you ever wondered how much written law, statues and codes weigh on the daily life of a person? And I am talking about the modern day here.
Well, you’ll be surprised by how small of an impact it has now. On this podcast we'll see what was the bases of the ancient Roman law system and its unwritten rules.
