The essay deals with acquire of ownership by fluvial activity in Roman Law, with particular reference to adluvio. The topics herein studied are natural description of fluvial events in Roman law sources (quite complex on adluvio), their juridical nature (increase or in some cases decrease of land that borders with a river), legal effects of them (acquisition of property ipso iure by the land owner rather as a juridical acquire iure gentium than as a mere physical increase of land with no legal matters related to it), condition of lands where fluvial acquires could take place.
