What is the law of debt in Roman?

The law of debt in Roman law, primarily governed by the "Lex Poetelia Papiria" of 326 BCE, abolished the practice of debtor bondage, where creditors could enslave debtors unable to repay. Instead, it established a framework for debts to be settled through monetary payments or other means, emphasizing legal protections for debtors. Roman law recognized various types of debts, including civil and natural debts, and outlined procedures for enforcement and resolution, such as the use of court actions. Ultimately, these laws aimed to balance the interests of creditors while providing protections for debtors.
