Abstract
The essay focuses on the classification of maritime loan in the Roman contractual system and on the specialty profiles that characterize the related discipline. The assumption of the periculum quod ex navigatione maris metui solet by the lender justifies the possibility of perceiving a fenus maius legitima usura. The lender can also demand the payment of the usurae merely stipulated by way of action. D. 45.1.122.1 (Scaev. 28 dig.) brings the maritime loan back to the loan and qualifies as actio ex stipulatu the procedural instrument that can be exercised by the lender against the borrower Callimachus.
