Summary/Abstract: Among the numerous law systems known in history, the only one capable to develop a well-defined legal terminology, distinct in relation to the average, ordinary language, was the Roman law one. Even though in the ancient comprehension of the Quirites the laws would take a religious garb from both the point of view of their linguistic expression and from the point of view of their meaning, it was for the first time in history that the Romans created a unity of notions, able to transpose in a juridical language society's major interests. It was a fact also due to the general evolution from the antique fas to the exhaustive ius.
