In the following pages it has been my object to trace the history of the domain lands of Rome from the
earliest times to the establishment of the Empire. The plan of the work has been to sketch the origin and
growth of the idea of private property in land, the expansion of the ager publicus by the conquest of
neighboring territories, and its absorption by means of sale, by gift to the people, and by the
establishment of colonies, until wholly merged in private property. This necessarily involves a history of
the agrarian laws, as land distributions were made and colonies established only in accordance with laws
previously enacted.
