Abstract
The article examines the connection between law and literature in Ancient Rome. As a result of the study of works of Roman literature of various genres (love poetry, heroic epic, fable, historical work), the interpenetration of literature and law is shown: legal realities are reflected in literary texts, and quotations from literary works become legal terms. Examples of the use of the relationship between Roman literature and Roman law in practice in teaching the Latin language to lawyers are given.
