| dc.description.abstract | The study analyses the succession of property owned by the mother or her relatives according to the provisions of the legislation of Emperor Constantine I contained in the Codex Theodosianus, in comparison with the regulation of classical law and in particular with that of the Senatusconsultum Orfitianum. The conclusion is that, with all the limitations on the father’s rights in respect of the bona materna established in imperial legislation, he must be regarded as having no title to that property, but that all his rights derive from: 1) the legal servitude – usufruct granted to him, 2) the patria potestas exercised by him, and 3) the new duties imposed on him by imperial legislation to care for and preserve that property in the interests of his subjects. | |
