The writings of the Roman land surveyors (Gromatici Veteres) are very important
for the study of the res divini iuris. These documents – so far not really taken into

which the concept of sanctum in Roman Law manages to preserve vitality within a very long
chronological span, which goes from the Beginnings of Rome to the Christian Empire.
