Abstract
The notion of self-defence was visible in Roman law even in the archaic period. First mention that can be recognised as such was the right to kill a thief referred to in the Law of Twelve Tables. The institution gradually developed, encompassing a growing range of cases. However, regulations were still mostly casuistic. That also applies to the legislation of Christian emperors.
