description In Roman times, slavery is domestic, before conquests transformed its nature. Colonial slavery is an economic exploitation based on slave trade. How do the administrators apprehend the slave’s legal status ? Does the Code noir follow local rules or Roman precedents to supervise practice, according to some expected effects on the settlers’s property ? If Roman law serves as a matrix, is it as a simple recovery or as an indirect influence ? The spirit of antique solutions is present, but it is not essential for the legal definition of "Negros". The Roman law provides a conceptual tool to understand a posteriori the inner wheels of a specific status, at the turning point between property right and status of persons.
