There were two types of obligations, civil and praetorian. Civil obligations were established and composed by the law itself, and is commonly known as civil law. Praetorian obligation was composed due to the authority factors, and is also known as honorary. Verbal contracts were very important, and consisted of a simple question and answer (usually the response was "I do" kind of thing). The passage shows that they set up a universal lanuage for this exchange so that there was little confusion when it came to the exchange. Another important factor in these exchanges were place, the where that the exchange took place. Penalty for not completing the exchange was enforced. Buying and selling contracts began with the agreement upon price, even before the price was paid.There were a set of set up rules and regulations for the exchange in trade so that people could not lose there money if the trade failed or fell through. If the seller has fallen through, then he/she must restore the exchange with double as a penalty. (This shows the importance of always getting your money's worth and the importance of money to these people)
