Abstract

This article discusses a passage from Scaevola’s digest on a loan granted to the merchant Callimachus for the purchase of maritime cargo. Te passage is analysed in the context of a reconstruction of the case described by Scaevola. One of the questions often asked hitherto in Roman Law studies on this point is why Callimachus was obliged to repay the loan if his ship sank. However, in my opinion this question is irrelevant for the case analysed by Scaevola, since the essential point of his deliberations comes in the second part of the passage and focuses on the possibility of the creditor and the borrower modifying their original arrangements for a maritime loan through the services of the creditor’s agent travelling with the borrower and supervising the proper implementation of the contract. In this part of the passage Scaevola presumes that Callimachus was overdue with the repayment of the loan, and that was why he did not fulfil his obligations resulting from the promise he had made to the creditor’s agent.

Keywords:

fenus nauticum, pecunia traiecticia, maritime loan, Callimachus’ loan.
