In Tomasz Banach’s interesting and useful monograph on the promises of debt relief (tabulae novae) with which Catiline tried to win the favour of Roman society, the reader can find statements in which the author expresses powerful opposition to some „Marxist” and „neoliberal” tendencies. Unfortunately, the author does not explain what he understands by the term “Marxism”, nor does he cite academic literature to define the characteristics of a „Marxist Catiline”. This is a mistake, because the views of Polish representatives of Marxist doctrine regarding the figure and achievements of Catiline, are analogous to those of Tomasz Banach.

The content of most Polish textbooks on Roman law is based on schemes that date back to the 19th century. In the 20th century, Polish jurisprudence was greatly influenced by the doctrine of the German historical school. The manifestation of this remains both the systematics of modern textbooks and their content. However, times have changed. We are witnessing universal processes such as globalization, decolonization, digitization, decodification, etc. Presenting ancient material to students without a modern commentary makes no sense. A Roman law lecture should contribute to building an intercultural dialogue, not unreflectively duplicate content that is tedious at best and annoying at worst. If Roman law is to maintain its status as the most important propaedeutic subject that Polish students learn in the first year of law, it must begin to relate to current realities. Our own cultural identity should be taken into account, and the solutions created by the Romans must be shown to a greater extent in comparative terms.

The inspiring monograph of Piotr Alexandrowicz entitled “Canonistic Justification of Freedom of Contract in the Western Legal Tradition” clearly shows that the true creators of freedom of contract were not ancient Roman jurists or emperors, but medieval canonists. Based on Christian moral theology, they built the unique doctrine of obligations without which it is quite difficult to imagine contemporary legal transactions. Their thought was subsequently taken up and further developed by modern thinkers.
