Abstract
Exchange of goods with transferring property rights is an essential part of every organised human society and economy. All over the ancient world, traders and consumers negotiated a great deal of sales on local market places. The legal framework of sale is an indispensable institutional environment of a functioning economy. The paper presents a short outline of the high theory of Roman jurists about sale and compares it with every day parctice, with notarial documents .
