A quick definition of Romanesque law:

Romanesque law, also known as civil law, is a legal system that originated in the Roman Empire and is still used in many parts of the world today. It is a set of rules and regulations that the government imposes to govern private rights and disputes between individuals. It is different from criminal law, which punishes wrongdoers, and administrative law, which regulates government actions. Civil law seeks to provide compensation or restitution for wrongs committed, rather than punishment.

A more thorough explanation:

Romanesque law is a type of civil law that originated in the Roman Empire and is still used in many parts of the world, including continental Europe, Latin America, Scotland, and Louisiana. It is also known as Roman law or jus civile.

Civil law is a legal system that is imposed by the state and deals with private rights, as opposed to criminal or administrative law. The main objective of civil law is to provide compensation or restitution for wrongs committed, rather than punishing the wrongdoer.

For example, if someone damages your property, civil law would require them to compensate you for the damage they caused. This is different from criminal law, which would punish the person for their actions.

Another example of civil law is contract law, which deals with agreements between individuals or businesses. If one party breaches a contract, civil law would require them to compensate the other party for any losses incurred.
