El futuro del legado romano una reconstrucción para el derecho administrativo actual

Abstract

The history of administrative law has a starting point, usually located in the French dogmatics of the 19th century. However, the contribution of Roman law to public law ―in general— and to administrative law —in particular— is rarely examined in detail, either by administrative law specialists or by Romanists. For this reason, through this article, we intend to investigate the Roman sources of some of the most fundamental and some of the most critical legal institutes of current Administrative Law, such as public powers, public order, the power of empire, the principle of exorbitance or the concept of Treasury, to unfold our understanding regarding the actual historical roots of our current public law —and the administrative law, mainly —.
