Abstract
Secondary sources as History of Nature by Plinius, Against Verres by Cicero, and On Architecture by Vitruvius, can reveal that ancient Romans paid attention to the Nature. By analyzing three practical legal cases connecting with these sources and concerning respectively the legalization of preventing water pollution, the illegal emission of waste, and the use of lead, the interdictum, the actio de effusis vel deiectis and the actio negatoria, as three procedural means in private law did produce indirect legal effects on the protection of the environment, although they were designed primarily for the protection of personal benefits rather than the protection of the environment.Pubblicazioni consigliate
