A millennium and a half wide range of cultural development and progress has existed between Roman and currently applicable law Slovenian law. However, we find many similarities between them, which defied time and changes in state systems, so I can conclude with certainty that Roman law offered quality legal solutions that, with a slight modification, are relevant for any progressive society. Comparing the two legal systems, it is clear that modern Slovenian civil law, by relying on the Austrian Civil Code (ABGB), drew the basic regulation from the Roman model. It expanded the range of property law forms of insurance and dissected in more detail the institutes dating back to Roman times. The Slovenian legal sistem adapts individual institutes to modern conditions and introduces some new ones, eliminates certain shortcomings of the Roman system and strives to protect all contracting parties, while at the same time tries to establish general security of legal transactions. As this is the main common point of the two legal systems, this thesis focuses mainly on the lien, its development and modern solutions, which bring it closer to the nowadays situation in Slovenian society. It also describes other property law forms of insurance.
