Summary/Abstract: Explaining law, from a historical perspective, is opportune and useful in order to understand its essence. The possibility of knowing law must be accompanied by the integration of the historical phenomenon in determining reality. Undoubtedly, the understanding of legal reality is conditioned by the recourse to historical sources whose role is noteworthy in changing the life of law. The broad content of history, the diversity of circumstances of this kind reveal their influence and, therefore, their importance in the mobile construction of law. The creation of law can be perceived as a consequence of the effects of a concrete historical fact that configures, in time, a distinct legal phenomenon. The legal orientation actually follows the social-historical and political trajectory of each society. This relation of law to history is permanent. The harmonization of current law with all past events ensures the creation and proper application of the social-legal norms.
