A quick definition of signum:

Term: signum

Definition: Signum is a Latin word that means a seal or a stamp. In Roman law, it was used to close a document to protect it from unauthorized access and forgery. It was also used at the end of a document to show that the person who sealed it recognized the written declaration as their own. Signum can also refer to an indication of something seen or perceived by the senses, such as a bloodstain on a murder suspect.

A more thorough explanation:

Definition: Signum is a Latin word that was used in Roman law. It means a sign or a seal. In written documents, signum was a stamp that was put on to close a document. This was done to protect the contents of the document from unauthorized people and to prevent forgery. Signum was also used at the end of a document to show that the person who put the seal on it recognized the written declaration as their own. Signum was also used as a seal of a witness who was present at the making of a document.

  • When a person signed a legal document, they would also put their signum on it to show that they recognized the contents of the document as their own.
  • If a person found a bloodstain on a murder suspect, that could be considered a signum or an indication that the suspect was involved in the crime.

These examples illustrate how signum was used in Roman law to indicate the authenticity of a document or to provide evidence in a legal case.
