Money-lending
The edict deals with loans for consumption (mutuum, D. 12.1; C. 4.1-2), loans for use (commodatum, D. 13.6; C. 4.23), pledge (pignus, D. 13.7; C.
4.24), and set-off (compensatio, D. 16.2; C. 4.31). These legal institutions were needed in commercial life, in terms of credit, security, and payment, but were by no means restricted to the activities of professional traders. It is tempting, however, to explain the sophistication and sometimes paradoxical and adventurous nature of some arrangements as dictated by the requirement of specialized trading.92 The edict on deposit (EP § 106) originally followed the edict on compensationes (EP § 100), before the shift of the title dealing with agency presumably occurred (EP §§ 101-5).93
