SUBSTANTIAL DIFERENCES BETWEEN DE PENU LEGATA AND DE ALIMENTIS VEL CIBARIIS LEGATIS

Summary/Abstract: This research is dedicated in general to the content of the legacy of provisions (“de penu legata” D. 33.9), and the legacy of food (“de alimentis vel cibariis legatis” D. 34.1). The article represents a brief comment of possible convergences between both legacies and the well known practice of provision of food between persons who are in relation of kinship (“de agnocendis et alendis liberis, vel parentibus, vel patronis, vel libertis” D. 25.3). In this material is also reviewed the evolution of the different institutions both in the republican and in the classical period. In the article are outlined the jurisprudential oscillations regarding their content, highlighting reasonable minimum parameters and maximum parameters in which a greater number of probable components are welcomed in each of the assumptions.
