Maritime Insurance According To Byzantine Rhodian Nautikosin Case Of Ship Sinking, Pirate Attack Or Storm

Summary/Abstract: Nomos (Rhodion) nautikos is a legal text which was probably written between 600 and 800 A.D. The exact date of its origin cannot be established. Historical science does not know during whose rule Maritime law was declared the official document and where it was passed. It is also unclear if Maritime law was the official document or a private compilation. The contents of Maritime law indicate that it deals with problems related to maritime business and trade. Some of the rules related to naviga- tion and maritime trade were taken over from Justinian’s law. During the early me- dieval period some of the rules were based on Roman law and they also appear in Maritime law. Despite that, Maritime law is based on Roman law. Because of the cir- cumstances in the early medieval period, Maritime law deviates from some of the tra- ditional rules of Roman maritime law. In Roman law, contribution principle is applied in case of iactus only, and in Byzantine law, it is also applied to ship collision, ship- wreck, damage caused by pirates, thunder, etc.
