Summary/Abstract: Roman law influenced the continental European legal systems not only by the reception of fundamental institutes, but also by the reception of basic legal terminology. Most of the Latin legal terminology is common to the European languages, which is an advantage for the legal education and the practice of the international institutions, issuing their acts in different languages. Being in use out of the context of Roman law, some of the Latin terms received different meaning. Thus in modern times some of the Latin terms are used in very different sense. This scientific report is aimed to examine some of the Latin terms both in public and in private law by comparing their original and their modern meaning in the context of the Roman legal tradition.
