The book examines the origins, development, and management of public property in ancient Rome. The author analyzes the legal classification of “res” in Roman law, distinguishing between res divini iuris and res humani iuris and detailing specific categories such as res sacrae, religiosae, and sanctae. The work explores how these assets were allocated for collective use and protected through legal and administrative instruments, highlighting the importance of community awareness in the organization of the civitas. Particular attention is paid to Etruscan contributions and the cultural interaction that influenced the management of public and sacred spaces. Melone emphasizes the distinction between assets belonging to the public heritage and those intended for public use, illustrating how the latter were protected and managed to ensure their usability and preservation. The analysis draws on legal, literary, epigraphic, and gromatic sources, offering a comprehensive and detailed picture of the management of common goods in Rome.
