• Extra informatie: - The book examines the concept of vis (violence) in ancient Roman law, especially through the lens of interdicta—legal tools issued by praetors to prevent or remedy unlawful acts. It explores how vis was addressed legally and how its treatment evolved in Roman jurisprudence. Chapter 1 outlines the problem historically, analyzing the term vis in legal and political historiography, and reviews several Roman laws (like the Lex Cornelia, Lex Plautia, Lex Pompeia, and Lex Iulia) aimed at curbing violence. Chapter 2 focuses on the presence of vis in interdicta, particularly the prohibition vim fieri veto (“I forbid violence”). It shows that while this formula appears in many areas of property protection, it is absent in those concerning sacred and public spaces—possibly indicating these interdicts are older. Legal texts suggest that early Roman law focused on preventing physical interference with legal entitlements rather than resolving ownership. Chapter 3 discusses the requirement of current possession (nunc) in property disputes and debates the origin and purpose of the exceptio vitiosae possessionis (exception for faulty possession), reflecting a growing legal response to unjust possession by force. Chapter 4 analyzes Ulpian’s commentary and debates scholarly interpretations about whether classical legal formalism regarding violence was later abandoned or preserved. It differentiates between types of violence (vis ex interdicto vs. vis ex conventu) and reaffirms that uti possidetis aimed to protect possession from unlawful disturbance, especially in agrarian contexts.
