Little is known about Marcus Junius Brutus, although the Roman jurists ascribed to him, alongside Publius Mucius Scaevola and Manius Manilius, a leading role in laying the foundations of Roman private law . He is said to have published three books De iure civili and four books with Responsa . Only a few quotations from other authors have survived from this, but it becomes clear that De iure civili was written in the form of a dialogue between Marcus Junius Brutus and his son, the prosecutor Marcus Junius Brutus .
