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.
