THE purchase contract has originated from the Roman contract empatio venditio. By this consensual contract, one side, a vendor is obliged to carry over a complete disposal on things, and the other side, an emptor is obliged to pay a certain sum of money (pretium). In this paper, we will analyze the origin of the purchase contract in Roman law.
