Abstract

Contract for work (letting and hiring of work) is one of the ways that people have used since the beginning of civilization in order to regulate relations that arose regarding work. Throughout history it has changed its forms, as same as the reputation of the people who use this contract within their occupation has changed into what we know today. Contrary to modern understanding, ancient civilizations considered working for anyone but yourself to be dishonorable and disgraceful. In this paper author analyses roots of letting and hiring of work in ancient Roman, Greek and Mesopotamian law and culture, as well as the understanding of work within these civilizations, that has influenced and shaped the form and future of letting and hiring of work. Although there are many common features of these old cultures, their understanding of work for other person differs significantly, and each one of them hold certain special characteristics. Most developed and systematic legal framework for letting and hiring of work can be found in Roman law, but the earliest manifestation of such contract existed much before. The oldest legal text known today, the Code of Ur – Nammu from the year of 2100 B.C. has norms that indicate the existence of letting and hiring of work in the very dawn of human civilization
