Ius publicum

Ius publicum is Latin for public law. Public law regulated the relationships of the government to its citizens, including taxation, while ius privatum, based upon property and contract, concerned relations between individuals. The public/private law dichotomy is a structural core of Roman law and all modern western legal systems. Public law will only include some areas of private law close to the end of the Roman state.
