Uwagi na temat ukształtowania domum vi introire na gruncie sullańskiej lex Cornelia de iniuriis

Abstract

The article concerns the matter of domum vi introire – a violent intrusion into someone’s house, introduced into Roman Law by Cornelian law de iniuriis in 81 BC. The issue is analysed in the socio-political context of introduction of this regulation aimed to define its ratio legis as strictly connected to the goal of providing peace and safety in the city, and, by this means, establishing the new order. However, the conduct of domum vi introire was considered as closely related to the dignity of an individual from the very beginning, and as such complying with the concept of iniuria created within the praetorian edicts. It is exactly this feature that enabled the evolution of perception of this conduct in the direction of the contemporary concept of trespass.
