Эволюция религиозной функции в римском праве

Abstract

At all stages of history, an important role in the sphere of social relations was played by religion, which also acted as the most important factor in the interaction between society and the state. Although religion can be considered as an independent legal system, such as Sharia, and in the general form of religious law, in the concept of law, the religious function, it seems, should be highlighted in particular in view of the fact that it plays an independent role in the entire legal system and develops in a special way. The purpose of the article is to show the evolution of the religious function in Roman law, which underlies many modern legal systems. The sacred function was the main one at the beginning of the formation of Roman law, and then more features that were secular began to appear in it. However, the transition to the Empire led to the fact that the religious function was firmly entrenched in Roman public law, and during the period of Christianization of the 4th century, this function assumed consolidation in laws the formulas of faith binding on all the subjects.
