Abstract: In primitive times, people used things from the environment to satisfy their basic needs. Initially, things were used to satisfy elementary needs. Later, the production of the three social divisions of labor contributed to the development of society and to the increase of the role those certain categories of objects had in everyday life. Along with this, people became aware of the importance of regulating the control they exercised over these things and the necessity of enshrining the right of ownership. In Roman law, the institution of property crystallized after a long process. This process began in the very Ancient Era, when movable property came under the scope of private property, and land came under the scope of collective property, continued in the Classical Era, when private property manifested itself in several forms, and completed in the Post-Classical Era, with their unification.
