Abstract

In regard to one provision of the Theodosian Code (C. Th. 10, 1, 12) stating the rule that 'on the place of one cut down cypress tree more should be planted' the author discusses the sources of Roman law on the protection of trees and forests. The author comes to the conclusion that this provision in essence incorporates the old, generally accepted rule of the Roman society on the protection of trees and forests. The author also shows that in the classical and post-classical period the protection of trees and forests was under the special control of the imperial treasury because the trees were considered to be a type of natural resource.
