• Resumen

  • The article expresses and substantiates the idea that the Roman prohibition laws in the field of private law, incl. and leges perfectae, are limited as a rule only to the prohibition of a certain action or establish a sanction (points) for violators. Lex Aelia Sentia is clearly the first law to provide in its text for nullity in acts contrary to its prohibitions. It is suggested that the assessment of acts contrary to the law as devoid of legal effect, and therefore the assessment of the law itself as lex perfecta, is only the result of the interpretation given by Roman jurisprudence.
