"When dealing with Roman law and the laws of antiquity, I am particularly fascinated by how people of different peoples, languages and cultures exchanged their own legal experiences in order to find solutions to common problems, including an extraordinary form of civil coexistence still forms the basis of our way of life today. Their experiences show us that people must be at the center of the law, because from there legal paths can be created for an enriching and peaceful coexistence, beyond distinguishing criteria such as language, race, religion or nationality , which is unfortunately often forgotten these days."
