Summary/Abstract: The science of law, so jus-naturalistic and metaphysical as such, represents by definition a collection of metaphors and symbols with a moral and especially a juridical signification. The semiotics of law constitutes avant la lettre a field of excellency in the mentality of many Roman jurists, jurisprudents (philosophers of law), judges, and many other humanists (as Cicero, Seneca or Ulpian, etc., and a plethora of writers and poets). In this respect, we are looking for the Roman manner to find symbols of human connotations starting with the metaphor Mar Nero, after the Greek terms, Pontus Axeinos & Pontus Euxeinos.
