FINANCING OF SPORT IN ROME. TOWARDS A ROMAN LAW OF SPORT

Summary/Abstract: Sport in Rome shows news and diverse perspectives, different to those that characterize the Greek sport. In the Roman case, sports are closely linked with the political and social level. This institutional promotion as a form of political advertising shows the economic importance of sports linked to different economic factors and products around it. This situation encourages the athlete like a professional in Rome and leads to the central approach of this work: the ways to financing sport, and particularly the athlete in Rome. We therefore focus on the role that the mutuum agreement would play as an instrument to achieve the financing of the athlete. The usefulness of this agreement is complicated when we found the rejection of the Roman jurists to natural or automatic production of interest on loans of money. For this reason, would be through the same mechanism used in the traiecticia pecunia or fenus Nauticum, where is accepted the charging of interest subject to the positive result of the company. Thus, the “mutuum agreement” become a way to financing athletes. This financing would articulate from the possibilities that the Roman contractual typology offered, demonstrating once again the link between sport phenomenon in Rome and the legal sphere.
