Summary/Abstract: The iustitia, as Cicero affirmed, unique virtue, lady and queen of the virtues; Justice as a disposition of the spirit that respects the common utility. The Roman conceptions in Cicero's time reflect a good part of the basic principles that prevail with more frequency: objectivity of the legal order, justice, utility, equity, honesty, lawfulness, etc., authentic reference to a clear idea of utilitas. In this sense, it is analyzed in the present study: Utilitas omnium ↔ rei publicae causae; Utilitas publica ↔ utilitas omnium; Utilitas publica, from the perspective of priority interest that favors the State itself; Justinian and the pretended and possible return to the utilitarian conceptions publica ↔utilitas communis; Utilitas publishes: and a peculiar assumption, among others, extracted from the interdictal context in which public interest, common interest and private interest are combined.
