Abstract
This paper analyses the issue of suicide in the sources of Roman law, primarily criminal law. In the course of that, it will focus on the following key points: after a few introductory remarks outlining the Roman custom of committing suicide, first, it will discuss the judgement of suicide in criminal law in general; then, it will examine the appearance of the culprit’s suicide as grounds for exclusion of culpability (and the limits thereof) in sources in imperial law; finally, it will briefly analyse the legal position of suicide in military criminal law.
